Rogue Traders

Rogue Traders is an iconic force in Australian electro-dance, pop-rock, known for injecting massive rock energy into pulsating electronic anthems. Formed in 2000 by UK-born DJs and producers James Ash and Steve Davis, the band cemented their legendary status with the addition of powerhouse vocalist Natalie Bassingthwaighte in 2004, alongside Tim Henwood (guitar) and Cameron McGlinchey (drums).

The group became a global phenomenon throughout the mid-2000s, selling over one million records worldwide. Their explosive sound delivered a string of hits, including seven Top 20 singles on the ARIA chart — such as ‘Watching You’, ‘Way to Go!’, and the APRA Award winning ‘In Love Again’.

Their breakout single, ‘Voodoo Child’, dominated charts internationally, peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart and #4 in Australia. The band’s critically acclaimed run earned them 10 ARIA Award nominations, multiple APRA Awards, and an MTV Award win for ‘Voodoo Child’.
After a celebrated reunion in 2015 that brought the classic lineup of Ash, Bassingthwaighte, Henwood, and McGlinchey back to the stage, the Rogue Traders fire has never been brighter.

Their resurgence hit a fever pitch with the 2023 release of the single ‘To The Disco,’ which stormed the iTunes Dance Chart at #1. Rogue Traders are gearing up for a massive 2026 national tour and are set to release their first full-length album of brand-new material hailed by insiders as their best work yet. Prepare to turn up the heat with the Rogue Traders at Sunbury Music Festival.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have cemented themselves as a vital force in alternative music, known for their fierce energy, emotional honesty, and sharp social commentary. Their 2023 debut album ‘I Love You soared’ to #6 on the ARIA Albums Chart and made history as the first non-male band to win the ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist.

Their momentum was amplified by being named both a Spotify RADAR and Ones To Watch artist, signalling their growing international impact. In 2024, they wrapped up a huge year supporting Pearl Jam at three Australian stadium shows, then kicked off 2025 with their single ‘Balcony’ and a run of six U.S. arena dates supporting Pearl Jam.

In November 2025 they released their sophomore album ‘Glory’ which landed them a #2 spot on the Australian ARIA charts as well as critical acclaim globally including a (positive) mention from Mr Needletok - Anthony Fantano!

2026 is already shaping up to be a big year, performing nationally at Laneway Festival alongside Chappell Roan, an Australia and New Zealand tour plus more international dates. Don’t miss a chance to see Teen Jesus and the Jean Teaser on the stage at Sunbury Music Festival.

The Badloves are one of Australia’s most enduring bands, led by vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Michael Spiby. The band formed in the late 1980s with a unique sound featuring raw Hammond organ and guitars, powerful bass and drums, and a soul-fuelled singer in Spiby that combines their unique blend of soul, RnB and Australiana.

The bands’ debut album ‘Get On Board’ in 1993 was extremely well received. The Michael Spiby songs ‘Lost’, ‘Green Limousine’ and ‘Memphis’ were the focal point of the album. Spiby’s voice and songs became The Badloves sound. ‘Get On Board’ stayed on the charts for a staggering 69 weeks and won three ARIA Awards.

The band has been a mainstay at festivals and on the touring circuit for more than 30 years. In 2019 the band released ‘Soulbrothertruckin’song” – their first new single in 17 years.

The Badloves continue to build on their legacy with the arrival of their recent singles, ‘Tribal’ and ‘Midnight Sun’, both receiving strong support from Australian radio. Don’t miss this chance to hear The Badloves at Sunbury Music Festival!

Proud Wiradjuri woman, Ruby Mae, is a vital voice in the Australian music landscape - and one of the country's most exciting arrivals.

Her debut album ‘Baby’, produced by ARIA-winner Stephen Mowat, was the spark that lit the fire. Singles ‘Keeper’ and ‘D*ckhead’ found a home on Triple M and Triple J, as well as making inroads in the US.

On stage, Ruby’s album is delivered with a sincerity and openness that demands your attention. Delivering in front of an audience has always been Ruby’s focus, and it’s where she truly thrives. A live performer from decades past, Ruby commands a room with ease well beyond her years. Channelling the intimacy of Missy Higgins one minute, and the restless full-bodied punch of Powderfinger the next. She has built a devoted fanbase the old-fashioned way: independent, music first and audience focused.

Since her debut, Ruby has filled rooms at Queenscliff Music Festival with her solo and band performances, played the mainstage at St Kilda Fest, supported a sold-out show with Emma Donovan, and sold-out headline gigs across venues in Melbourne.

Ruby Mae is the real deal, and the rest of the country is catching on fast.

JAZZPARTY

For over a decade JAZZPARTY have turned every gig — whether a sweaty dive or a massive festival — into a full-blown party. Fierce, loose and unfiltered, they fuse 50’s RnB, mambo, punk, ragtime, calypso and soul into something all their own. Their lyrics cut close to the bone: ironic, tragic, funny, hopeful and always unmistakably Melbourne.

Think New Orleans meets Twin Peaks: horns blazing, drums pounding, group harmonies lifting, and Loretta Miller’s powerhouse vocals riding the wave.

Born from a “beautiful mistake” and refined in their infamous Monday night residencies, JAZZPARTY have since torn up Golden Plains, WOMAD, Dark Mofo and beyond. Having just released a brand new single with a new album on the way in late 2026 via Yama-Nui Records, they’re primed to make Sunbury Music Festival unforgettable.
