Epic Long Weekend with Jet, Birds of Tokyo, and Little Birdy
01/03/2026Take your long weekend to the next level with a sun-soaked Sunday Session at Hotel Rottnest. Featuring Jet with special guest Little Birdy, this coastal celebration invites music lovers to round up their friends, feel the sea breeze, and enjoy a chilled drink as some of Australia’s most loved rock acts turn paradise into the ultimate getaway.
Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing almost 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album “Get Born”. The album produced a string of classic singles in “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, “Rollover DJ”, and “Look What You’ve Done” and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards. Both “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
Jet’s follow up album “Shine On” followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”, “Bring It On Back” and “Rip It Up”, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world. In November 2023 Jet received the honour of being the 2023 ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees.
Formed in Perth, Birds of Tokyo have grown from independent roots to become one of Australia’s most popular contemporary rock bands. The band has released six studio albums including Human Design which topped the ARIA charts. Classic songs like “Good Lord”, “Two Of Us”, “Plans”, “Lanterns”, “Brace” and “I’d Go With You Anywhere” have all been top 10 airplay hits and more than seventy Birds of Tokyo tracks have featured on Triple J, making them one of the National Youth Broadcaster’s three most played artists of this millennium.
Birds of Tokyo have played major festivals like Splendour In The Grass & Falls and appeared as special guests for Muse, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel and Bon Jovi. They have also toured across Australia with some of the country’s most prestigious Symphony Orchestras. Birds of Tokyo have won “Rock Work Of The Year” on a record setting five separate occasions at the APRA Awards.
Little Birdy are an alternative Australian rock band formed in Perth in 2002. In 2024 they emerged from their hiatus, reuniting on stage two decades since their chart-topping album “BigBigLove,” the band’s essence remains unchanged: a dedication to their craft and an unwavering bond with their fans. With their iconic hits like “Beautiful To Me,” “Brother,” and “Come On Come On,” they promise a revival that resonates both with longtime followers and a fresh generation of listeners. For Katy Steele, Simon Leach, and Scott O’Donoghue, this moment is a reaffirmation that today is not their final act—it’s a new chapter in their storied musical journey.
