Great Southern Nights, a state-wide live music initiative in NSW, is returning in 2026 with an absolutely stacked lineup of Aussie favourites

The 2026 lineup features more than 20 acts spanning pop, R&B, indie, rock, electronic, and dance, celebrating the vibrant diversity of Australian music

"Creating a song with the incredible Kita Alexander and the Drax boys was pure magic," Peking Duk's Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles say

The beloved electronic duo are hitting the road again – and taking the party deeper into regional Australia (and Bali)

Peking Duk's Reuben Styles has returned to his barista roots to help a local cafe out during the current Queensland floods.

“I’ve had friends that I’ve lost to cancer,” Adam Hyde says. “Skin cancer is just so common in Australia. It’s almost absurd at this point.”

Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles have dropped a surprise Peking Duk banger featuring FEYI on the eve of Australia's first Bunnings Rave

A packed lineup of local and international talent has been unveiled for the New Year festival

Featuring instrumentation from KLP and vocals from US hyperpop singer Slayyyter, "Honest" is another classic Peking Duk banger.

The stage is set for a huge second decade for Peking Duk, who are chomping at the bit to build on their worldwide success.
