Pictured: The Push’s 25 Under 25 for 2022

As Aus Music Month wraps up for 2022, we’re bringing attention to some of the best and brightest new faces of Australian music.

Celebrating names from all over Australia, and ranging from artists, to managers, booking agents, merch producers, graphic designers and everyone in between, 25 Under 25 is The Push’s opportunity to commend the future of Australian music.

Statement from Kate Duncan, CEO, The Push:

“As 2022 marked another period of disruption and uncertainty for young people across Australia, these 25 young people demonstrated resilience and capability as they each led their own new ways of working in an ever-changing music landscape. We congratulate and thank The Push’s 2022 25 Under 25 for their commitment as young industry practitioners and artists, and can’t wait to see what each of them achieve into the future.”
