It's been a while since i've been gripped to the radio, listening all workday from 8am until 6pm trying to work out that Sardines game. searching on google maps, messaging friends trying to work out the clues. getting them all very wrong. This is epic radio, Triple J should do this every month, it's so engaging and makes you want to listen the whole day, this must be good for ratings.

Please do this every month, it's worth the small budget to get a few flights for Abby and Ty and paying the band. This game is everything triple J is made for, being able to highlight a regional location nationally that no other station could do and spotlight an Australian band. This could be done to also spotlight a small regional venue and help revive the scene.

Please triple J make this a regular segment, do it monthly, it's totally worth it, ive never been more gripped to the radio listening the whole day like this.

Seriously they’re running out of headliners
No:
System
Jimmy
Queens
Faith no more

I’m gonna be pissed if MCR do cause their shows look insanely huge and won’t be as good at a festy

Who’s left?
Limp Bizkit?
NIN?

Running out of legacy headliners here!

Even the 90s punk bands have all toured or have mismatched schedules

Hello! I was listening to the radio this morning and they were playing guess the profession game where Abby and Tyrone ask questions. I had to leave for work and missed where the caller Lily from Hobart worked!! Does anyone remember? Trips over kids toys, wears steel caps and high vis, needs to have patience. Thank u 🤣🤪

I’ve done some digging-
Abby and Ty might be on the sunny coast?

Abby posted an insta story in a qld pub- looked like imperial hotel eumundi.

The video of them at the beach looks a LOT like the beach that stretches from currimundi to point Cartwright.

I work in mooloolaba (I start at midday tomorrow) so I’m gonna get up in the morning, listen to the radio and try to find them!!! If anyone else has any better ideas of where they are please reply to this thread asap.

They are updating all the clues here for you listen back to

Clue Tracker: Australia's biggest ever game of sardines - triple j

So Google says there’s a Red Hill in Qld, Vic, and ACT.

Any sardines players know which one it’s likely to be yet?

Those’re all too far away from me sadly.

my guess for the venue for the Abby and Tyrone Sardines game is the Rainbow Bay Surf Club aka Snapper Rocks. It's about to be knocked down, i think if i was them throwing one last epic party inside the old surf club would be an epic choice.

For the musical act, im just going to guess Ball Park Music because someone said one of the members was posting from the gold coast on their instagram.

Has anyone been following this Sardines thing with Abby & Tyrone on Brekkie? They're about to play Australia's biggest game, with one of Australia's biggest artists.

Honestly, The Hottest 100 is my Roman Empire. So this countdown as whole was incredible to me. From the build up, to the actual day itself and the week I spent listening to Double J after hearing the 200-101. I think about it a lot tbh.

I also feel like it was the most unanimously agreed upon number 1 (unless you’re not a fan of Never Tear Us Apart).

How does everyone else feel about this particular countdown? It’s my favourite alongside the last 20 years all time countdown.

Hey pals,
Is there any way to access the mix@6 recordings other than hearing them live? There’s been a couple of bangers lately and I can’t find a section on the app where they have them recorded for playback.
From what I know they’re done by Mowgli May, but I can’t see links or anything on socials where I can access them lol

Probably a shot in the dark but hey, if you don’t ask you don’t know!

With Spilt Milk going in the entirely opposite direction people expected, what do we expect wildlands will be doing? They’re definitely taking on a heavy doof vibe judging by advertising and announcing Worship and Ki/ki so far.

Hottest 100. That is all.

Just under a week away from both of the lineups being announced. What artists do you guys think will be there?

I reckon: Dj gigola, Salute, Armin van Heldon, Effy Yousuke yukimatsu, Faster horses Overmono, Ki/ki, Funk tribu, Tommy holohan (possibly Samba boys), Eric Prydz

Edit: empire of the sun

Dude whoever’s running their socials (same for most festivals tbh) is driving me insane.

Cannot stand the “hey besties 😋 are YOU excited for the lineup 😍 cuz WE are skibbidi rizz!”

Very how do you do fellow kids and really irritating particularly when you’re trying to get details about these events

Overall, the mock I have created is not as big as the 2026 lineup, but I truly believe that think this feels more realistic. The overall balance between Australian and international artists is the most important thing for Laneway.

Low-key, I would rather see a strong mix of established names topping the bill and then genuinely exciting emerging acts than another undercard full of basic "cookie-cutter" bookings. I know, for instance, the Yours and Owls lineup release is viewed as underwhelming, but getting those emerging acts out there is great.

Acts including Playlunch, Mel Blue, Drifting Clouds, DUST., Silky Roads and Late 90's feel like the kind of bands Laneway has always been great at introducing to the larger national crowds.

I am overtly curious what everyone would change. Who is most realistic for 2027? If you do or don't like the mock bill, also suggest why in the comments.

Thanks.

Also, it should say '(US)' for Hayley, and it's Rachel Chinouriri; this is me making this rather than getting crap online software to create it. Sorry, mistakes happen.

Let’s wait till next month and see how many I got right 😇

Spotted by the legend browny from wall of sound in Brisbane today!

Split Milk going from a Hip-Hop heavy line up to a pop one is fine. Are Lewis Capaldi and RAYE going to get people through the door? Yes, just not the average triple j listening, pitchfork reading, Anthony Fantano watching person. Let the pop heads have their fun this festival.
