Bush to Headline Triple M Fest During AFL Grand Final Week
British alt-rock band Bush will headline the 2026 Triple M Fest at Melbourne's Corner Hotel on Thursday, 24 September, joined by Australian acts The Superjesus and You Am I, Triple M radio station has announced. The event, now in its second year, marks the first time the festival has extended into a night-time headline concert alongside its usual day-long live broadcast during AFL Grand Final week, combining football coverage with live music.
The day begins at 6am with the breakfast show broadcasting live from the venue and a set from The Superjesus, followed by other programming before You Am I and then Bush close the night. The Melbourne date coincides with Bush's wider Australian tour this month, a co-headline run with Shinedown that marks the band's first Australian headline shows since 1996. Bush, fronted by Gavin Rossdale, have sold more than 10 million records in the US and 20 million worldwide, with hits including "Glycerine" and "Comedown" from their six-times-platinum 1994 debut Sixteen Stone.
