One Night Stand is coming up fast – as in next month fast – so it's absolutely time to lock in your last weekend in May.
Whether you're headed west for the big day or tuning in at home, here's everything you need to know about the 2025 edition of One Night Stand.
Where is One Night Stand this year?
This year, we're going west! triple j will be taking over the southwestern town of Busselton on May 24, transforming the beachside town on Wardandi Boodja land into Australia's beating heart of live music for one night only.
More specifically, the big bash is happening down at Barnard Park near Busselton Jetty, right on the water. Picture perfect.
Who is playing One Night Stand?
We've wrangled a stunning line-up of legends to hit the stage in May, who will be joined by a very special local winner of our Unearthed competition winner. Check out the full line-up below.
- Spacey Jane
- LUUDE
- Ruby Fields
- 3%
- BLUSHER
- Velvet Trip
- Fool Nelson - triple j Unearthed winner
How do I get to the venue?
One Night Stand is conveniently located within walking distance from the Busselton town centre.
If you're coming from Perth, we would encourage you to make a night of it and stay in the beautiful Busselton Margaret River region.
For those staying in the South West, you can book a seat on a chartered bus or go for public transport.
Chartered buses will be running from Margaret River, Dunsborough, Bunbury and other key towns along these routes to take punters around the regions to and from One Night Stand.
Check out the Busselton council website for more information.
Pick up and drop off areas are available too. You can find them at:
- Carey Street via Marine Terrace
- Parking area near Busselton Volunteer Marine Group (eastbound on Geographe Bay Road between Carey and Georgette Sts)
If you're staying locally, TransBusselton runs three bus routes around the Busselton and Dunsborough region from Monday to Saturday.
Please note there are no scheduled local public transport services returning from Busselton after 5pm. Check out the local bus service's website for more information.
Parking is also available at Churchill Park (access via Brown St) for $5. It's a four-minute walk from the festival and proceeds will be going to the local sporting club managing the parking.
There are also different timed and untimed parking zones around Busselton, check out the council's parking map for more information.
Bike parking is also available at the venue and will be monitored by event security.
And if you're flying in directly, the closest airport is the Busselton Margaret River airport, which is a 10 minute drive out of town.
Importantly, please be mindful of the neighbours around the Barnard Park area when you're headed out from the event.
I've booked a party bus! Where can we get dropped off?
Love this for you! Send us an email contacttriplej@abc.net.au and our team may be able to sort out a convenient drop off point for large vehicles.
Is One Night Stand an accessible event?
Absolutely. One Night Stand aims to be accessible to all.
The event will have a dedicated accessible entry lane as well as an accessible viewing platform 30 metres from stage. AUSLAN interpreters will also be present on stage throughout the event.
GETTING THERE AND AROUND
The main entry for Barnard Park is from Brown Street near the intersection with Foreshore Parade. One Night Stand is held primarily on the large grassed oval space, which is quite flat but has some uneven surfaces in different areas.
Toilets at the event are situated on the asphalt on site, the rest of the site is grass. Wheelchair accessible portable toilets are available behind the viewing deck at the southern end of the site.
Be aware that during inclement weather some parts of the One Night Stand site may be muddy, waterlogged or dusty, and may be difficult to navigate around.
CHILL OUT AND LOW SENSORY ZONES
Need to take a moment? The Chill Out Zone will be available for those who need a break, become lost from their friends, parents or children, need water or sunscreen. Red Frogs Australia will be running the tent so there will always be someone there to help.
A Low Sensory Space will also be available for people with sensory sensitivities. While we'll make all efforts to create a quiet and calm space, please know there will still be music playing from the stage and the area may be visited by a variety of people.
LIGHTING
Please note smoke machines, strobe lights, lasers, foggers, pyrotechnics and other effects MAY be in use at this event. Anyone affected by these should bear this in mind.
