Triple J’s One Night Stand has returned from hiatus in spectacular fashion.
The 2016 edition of the long-running event has officially wrapped, after throwing the biggest party that the sleepy WA suburb of Geraldton has ever seen.
Nearly 15,000 punters packed out the place’s Wonthella Oval to get their groove on with a lineup of triple j’s favourite Aussie acts, including Alison Wonderland, Urthboy and Boy & Bear.
And, as promised, the headliners delivered the goods with some stunning all-star collabs to punctuate their setlists of wall-to-wall bangers.
So far, three ace videos have surfaced online, featuring the ONS artists performing with their impressive guest stars.
Among them, Alison Wonderland teamed up with The Grates‘ Patience Hodgson subbing in for The Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne for a heartfelt rendition of U Don’t Know.
“I wrote this song about depression and I want everybody out there to know that it’s not embarrassing to feel like shit sometimes,” Wonderland told the massive crowd (transcribed via triple j).
“I bet every single one of you has felt terrible at one point in your life and if your friends can’t be there for you when you’re feeling really, really bad then they’re not your fucking friends!”
The superstar DJ also called Patience “one of the first people in the music industry to give me a chance when I was producing before Alison Wonderland”.
Boy & Bear also turbo-boosted their set with a visit from legendary Powderfinger frontman-turned-solo artist Bernard Fanning, who jumped on stage to perform the group’s hit Southern Sun.
They also joined forces on Fanning’s Songbird and traded lines on the Crowded House’s classic Fall At Your Feet, but sadly that footage has only surfaced so far in fan-shot form on Instagram (check it out below anyway).
Finally Urthboy performed a stellar rendition of his The Past Beats Inside Me Like a Second Heartbeat tune Long Loud Hours with special guest vocalist Bertie Blackman, before reassembling his allstar Like A Version squad for a live rendition of Meg Mac’s Roll Up Your Sleeves for an epic finale (we’re still waiting for the official footage of that, too)
