After Hours

Celebrate 80 years of the Australian National University at After Hours, a student-driven, outdoor concert bringing the ANU community together for one unforgettable night.

Presented in partnership with ANUSA, After Hours will transform the campus into a celebration of Australian music, community and the people who make ANU what it is.

Students, staff, alumni and the wider Canberra community are invited to come together, enjoy live performances and celebrate this milestone in true ANU style.

Come for the music, stay for the memories.

Line up:

Genesis Owusu

Bringing his electrifying live show to the stage, Genesis Owusu blends raw intensity, genre-defying production and razor-sharp lyricism into an experience that is as unpredictable as it is exhilarating. Moving between funk, soul, punk, electronic and alternative sounds, Owusu commands the room with a magnetic presence and a performance built for movement, release and connection. Expect a high-energy set that captures the chaos, joy and restless spirit at the heart of one of Australia’s most distinctive artists.

Rum Jungle

Hailing from the coastal backstreets of a steel city, Rum Jungle craft raw alt-rock anthems that blend surf-punk grit, psychedelic guitars and slacker-rock grooves. Equal parts indie-sleaze revival and beach-burnout elegance, their sound captures the haze of nostalgia, the chaos of youth and the thrill of letting it all fall apart in style.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers

ARIA Award-winning indie-rock four-piece Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are making waves across Australia and beyond. With two acclaimed albums, a string of major accolades, and performances alongside the Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam, the band brings their signature blend of powerful, boundary-pushing indie rock to the stage. Based across Ngunnawal/Canberra and Naarm/Melbourne, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers are not to be missed.

Chloe Parché

Chloe is a natural-born performer and one of Australia’s most exciting emerging artists. She’s earned support from Triple J, Spotify and international tastemakers, toured nationally, and shared stages with Jeremy Zucker, Amy Shark, The Rions and Aleksiah.

Her third EP, Split Ends, marked a major turning point, with singles ‘Driveway’ and ‘Otherside’ leading to a sold-out East Coast tour and her first Triple J Like A Version. With recent releases ‘Changing Shapes’, ‘Silver Bullet’ and ‘Hot!’ winning over her fast-growing fanbase, Chloe is an artist on the rise.

Big Night Out Winner - Lamb Legz

Born out of Griffin Hall for the Interhall Big Night Out (BNO) Battle of the Bands, Lamb Legz have quickly become one of ANU’s most exciting student bands. A two-time BNO winner, the 12-member group brings an infectious, high-energy sound and a distinctly big-band feel to the stage. 

Now, they’re bringing the full experience to After Hours as a celebration of the talent coming out of ANU.
