What does music mean to young Australians in 2026? Australia's youth music charity The Push will unpack the latest findings from their national research into how young people discover, experience and connect with music today. Now in its third year, this research tracks how the relationship between young Australians and music is changing, uncovering the trends, behaviours and experiences shaping the future of Australia's music scene.
They will share the headline findings from the 2026 report, explore what's changed over the past three years, and dive into what it all means for young people, artists, industry and policymakers. You'll hear directly from young Australians in a live panel discussion, as they share their experiences, challenge assumptions, and offer their perspective on where music is heading next. Because when we're talking about the future of music, the people shaping it deserve the microphone.
