This weekend, one of Australia’s favourite radio broadcasters is celebrating their 50 years in total style. In a twist to their much-loved and anticipated Hottest 100, Triple J are hosting a special mid-year addition exclusively for the very best of Australian music. For the last few weeks, Triple J has been calling on Aussies to get their votes in for their favourite music by Australian artists, with the top 100 to be revealed this Saturday.
From 9:30am ACST, they’ll be playing the songs with the top votes, counting down to what the public deems the very best. Just like the annual Hottest 100 that counts down the best songs of the year, you’ll be able to tune in from your radio or online, or catch it live from a few locations across the state.
Here’s a handful of places where you can get together with your mates and listen in.
Gilbert St Hotel
If you’re looking for an inner-city location, the Gilbert St Hotel are throwing a full day celebration. They’ll be counting down from 100 to 1 with great all-Australian beers on tap and no entry fee.
This is the perfect spot to gather your mates, kick back and settle in for a one-day-only listening session honouring the best music Australia has to offer. Plus, with the Showdown on that afternoon, this is the perfect spot for pre-drinks and dinner!
