KIIS and iHeartLIVE have announced an exclusive, money-can’t-buy experience with OneRepublic, where a select group of lucky listeners will be invited behind closed doors for a once-in-a-lifetime experience with the band, inside their dressing room.

On Friday 6 February, ahead of the band’s sold-out show at Qudos Bank Arena, and before frontman Ryan Tedder steps out onto the arena stage, these fans will experience an up-close, stripped-back performance and Q&A, hosted by the KIIS Network’s Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small.

Ryan Tedder said:

“We’ve had a love affair with Australia since the day we stepped out in 2008, so it’s wonderful to be the first iHeartLIVE of 2026. Smallzy is a very close friend of ours, and he’s bringing you backstage with us for an intimate, up-close experience like none other.”

Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small said:

“I’m so excited to have OneRepublic be our first iHeartLIVE for KIIS in 2026. I’ve known Ryan Tedder for the better part of 15 years — he has an undeniable influence on pop music — so to be able to give fans this money-can’t-buy experience up close in the band’s dressing room is truly special.

The iHeart brand is a global leader in creating super fan experiences, which was a huge part of my decision to make the switch to KIIS. I can’t wait to bring these opportunities to life for listeners.”

Head of the KIIS Network Derek Bargwanna added:

“We want to deliver access listeners won’t find anywhere else. iHeartLIVE with OneRepublic brings fans closer than ever, stripped back, intimate, and right in the room with the band. It’s a powerful start to the year and a great example of how we’re creating truly unforgettable music experiences across KIIS and iHeart.”

You can find out how to win by tuning into The Smallzy Show each weekday at 3pm and 7pm, live across the national KIIS Network or listen via the free iHeart App.
