Pioneering national youth music charity The Push will celebrate 40 years of championing young people and Australian music with Push Over – 40 Years of The Push, a landmark celebration at Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne on Saturday 21 November, as part of the Live at the Gardens series.
Featuring Bodyjar, Frenzal Rhomb, Killing Heidi, Magic Dirt and Regurgitator, this one-day-only special event brings together artists whose music didn’t just provide the soundtrack for generations of young Australians, but helped define them.
And in a treat for fans, each headlining artist will be joined on stage for a special guest appearance by Alex Lahey, Alice Ivy, Baker Boy, members of Public Figures, Ruby Fields and Teenage Joans, each with a personal connection to The Push.
For those who were there, it's a chance to relive it. For everyone else, it's a chance to be part of it.
For four decades, The Push has been backing young people to find their place through music - on stage, behind the scenes, and in the crowd. Informed by the knowledge that music makes young people more connected and improves their wellbeing, this work has never been more important. Through all-ages live music programs and music career pathways, the now-national charity ensures that every young Australian can participate and thrive in music, regardless of postcode or privilege. The Push's impact was celebrated in 2024 when it was inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame, an acknowledgement of a powerful legacy that reverberates across the country. This year, The Push launched its National Plan for Young Australians and Music, a 10-year blueprint to build consistent contemporary music infrastructure for young people across Australia
