%20(1).jpg)
Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2024 has wrapped up, and boy, was it a cracker! Records were broken, tears were shed (by us), and the countdown crowned a brand-new champion. Recently awarded Best New Artist at the Grammys, Chappell Roan took out the (much more highly regarded) #1 spot, with the most votes for a winning track in history!
The following top 10 spots saw up-and-comers Lola Young and Royel Otis, Hottest 100 alumni Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar, pop princesses Gracie Abrams and Charli xcx, and eDM heavyweights Dom Dolla and Fred Again.
If you're anything like us, you LOVE to see Australian artists stack up in the Hottest 100 lineup, and this year we got to celebrate 17 different homegrown legends! We've rounded up where you can catch some of our top picks live in 2024.
FONTAINES D.C., PEACH PRC & MAGDALENA BAY @ YOURS & OWLS FESTIVAL
Sat 1 - Sun 2 Mar | NSW
Want the chance to catch three of the acts in one hit? This year's massive Yours & Owls Festival lineup features fairy pop goddess Peach PRC, who racked up an impressive three entries in the Hottest 200! 'Secret' came in at #112, 'Time Of My Life' at #153, and 'Touchy Subject' at #194. She'll be sharing the stage with Hottest 100 first-timers Fontaines D.C., who landed 'Starburster' at #48 and 'Favourite' at #68, as well as Magdalena Bay, who made the list with 'Image' at #147. Throw in a stacked lineup of international and local legends, and you've got yourself a must-see Wollongong weekender!
LIME CORDIALE & THELMA PLUM @ BOAB METALS ORD VALLEY MUSTER
Sat 24 May | WA
Australia's favourite happy-go-lucky brotherly duo Lime Cordiale landed not one, but two tracks in this year's countdown, with 'Cold Treatment' coming in at #60 and 'Enough of the Sweet Talk' at #89. The Sydney boys are about to embark on a 27-date North American tour, but they'll be back in May for a boogie under the stars at the iconic Boab Metals Ord Valley Muster in the Kimberley. Joining them is Thelma Plum, who scored three entries from her I'm Sorry, Now Say It Back album - 'Freckles' at #107, 'Nobody's Baby' at #127, and 'Hurricane' at #150.
OLD MERVS
Sat 10 May - Sat 21 June | SA, NSW, ACT, QLD, VIC
Old Mervs have quickly become one of Australia's hottest commodities, clocking the #37 spot in the countdown with their single 'What You've Lost', as well as 'Parched' (#105) and 'Forget It' (#128). Loveable larrikins Dave and Henry are hitting the road this May-July on a mammoth tour off the back of their upcoming self-titled debut album - and trust us, you don't want to miss these indie-rockers and their cheeky on-stage presence.
BALL PARK MUSIC
3 May - 13 June | TAS, SA, ACT
Brisbane favourites Ball Park Music took a more lyrical, acoustic turn with 'Like Love' which landed at #43. If this track is anything to go by, their upcoming album (dropping this April) is going to be a real treat!! You can bet we'll be front row for a singalong when the indie-pop legends hit the road for their nine-show Aussie tour in May-June.
SOUTH SUMMIT
Fri 14 Feb - Sat 1 Mar | NZ, NSW, SA
Perth rising stars, South Summit, are making waves with their unique blend of rock, reggae and hip-hop inspired soundscapes. Having released their debut album in November 2024, including fan fave 'Givin' It Up' which scored #102, the band also made their Like A Version debut with 'Roxanne' which landed in at #179! To commemorate their debut album, they're heading on tour for their biggest ever headline shows in Australia and New Zealand this month!
