Each year triple j’s One Night Stand series brings a big live concert experience to regional towns that would normally miss out on big live music events. This year it was Dubbo’s turn. 18,000 locals turned up – about half the town’s total population – along with hundreds of thousands more listening live on the radio. And for the first time live on TV.

In a first for the ABC, triple j not only broadcast the concert live on ABC2 but also provided a second screen experience, giving viewers unprecedented access to backstage at the event. Plus the entire concert was broadcast live around the country on triple j radio, accompanied by videos, blogs and photo galleries on the triple j website and social media – as they happened.

The concert opened with local Dubbo band and winner of triple j’s Unearthed competition Peoples Palace. Other acts included Seth Sentry, Flume, Ball Park Music and The Rubens.

Alex Dyson and Zan Rowe brought listeners eight hours of non-stop concert coverage, including the huge live sets and backstage interviews with all the bands.  The Doctor hosted the live TV coverage on ABC2 while Lewi McKirdy on the second screen, provided a true backstage experience as he hassled everyone from the bands to the caterers.

Over the coming weeks triple j will replay the performances on Live At The Wireless. Plus you can stream the One Night Stand concert on iView from Sunday 14 April.
