triple j is the national youth broadcaster for young Australians. We aim to bring you the latest, greatest music and the stories that matter on the radio (covering over 98% of the nation), online, on your phone, and in your ‘hood for special events.
triple j loves new music from our favourite artists here and all over the world. We love discovering music and bringing it to you- like broadcasting the best live sets for our Live At The Wireless series, inviting artists into the studio to perform covers for Like A Version, and covering breaking music news, pop culture, and youth issues.
We love music made in bedrooms and garages by musicians we’ve never heard of. We love it so much, we launched our triple j Unearthed competition in the mid ‘90s then, in 2011, gave it its own digital radio station. In that time, we’ve discovered iconic talent like Flume, Courtney Barnett, RÜFÜS, Tkay Maidza, Grinspoon, Killing Heidi, Missy Higgins, Stonefield, Japanese Wallpaper, and so many, many more.
In 2014, two became three and Double J joined the family. Aimed at long-time music lovers, Double J delivers a diverse mix of the best new music and classic songs triple j has championed over the past four decades.
...and that’s only scratching the surface of all the things triple j does. Dive deep into triple j’s 40+ year history with this interactive timeline filled with iconic music moments, videos, comedy and milestones.
