🎵 Hear the shows and stories that sh aped Aussie music 🎵

All this month, we’ve been celebrating live music, dedicating the airwaves to recordings from iconic shows (like the so-called Australian Woodstock) and meeting the legends that played them. The last two years have been a tough act for the live music industry – one might call it a gig economy – so we’re taking the opportunity to cast our ears back to some of the incredible concerts that have shaped the Aussie music scene.
As part of these celebrations, Double J has been on the hunt to find the 50 gigs you should have been at. This love letter to live music has been written by musicians, journalists and, above all, fans. Journey back in time through maxed-out superstar stadiums, muddy festival grounds and tiny pubs with sticky floors. Sing as you scroll – keep reading below to discover some of these all-time Aussie concerts recorded in full on the ABC listen app!
And if you’ve already danced your way through those, tune in for another kind of fan moment with all-new episodes of Take 5. Coinciding with the release of Zan Rowe's new ABC TV and ABC iview series inspired by the Take 5 podcast, hear extended episodes of Take 5 every Tuesday with exclusive content from Zan's star-studded guest list – only on the ABC listen app.
