Live Nation Australia is excited to announce the return of its globally renowned music discovery series ONES TO WATCH for 2025. Established to celebrate and showcase the best talent inspiring audiences and their peers in Australia and beyond, ONES TO WATCH Backed By VODAFONE will be putting three new artists on the stage in one of Melbourne’s most beloved venues this February.

For its first edition of ONES TO WATCH in 2025, Live Nation Australia hits The Gasometer in Collingwood with host Tait Mcgregor. Set to perform at the Melbourne event, are charismatic Central Coast songwriter Fletcher Kent, Melbourne alt-rock force Lotte Gallagher, and dynamic Sydney pop artist Salty.

For Fletcher Kent, his ascent in recent years has been tied to a naturally captivating vocal and songwriting talent, not to mention a performance presence that has caught the attention of many audiences – both in person and online. Debut single ‘I’ll Be’ has generated a strong following online, with over 50k followers garnered in a short period of time for Fletcher across platforms.

Having cut his teeth on major stages supporting artists including Newtown Faulkner, Kim Churchill, Vera Blue and Pete Murray, Fletcher has signed a worldwide deal with AWAL US, after his music landed on the radar of label president, Pete Giberga. With his debut album in the pipeline, Fletcher Kent’s profile is steadily rising, with 2025 set to be a touchstone year.

Impressing tastemakers and audiences through the Triple J Unearthed High competition, the then-17 year old Lotte Gallagher wasted no time in solidifying her place as one of the East Coast’s most exciting new names. With over 1 million streams to her name and a consistently growing online presence, Lotte has continued to prove herself as one to watch.

Perfect for fans of artists including Phoebe Bridgers and Angie McMahon, Lotte’s music has been charming audiences, while her journey of sonic evolution has taken her down some exciting pathways since her 2023 debut with ‘Adam’. The track earned Lotte the #1 most-played track on triple j post-official release, kicking off momentum that has seen the musician land deal signings with Liberation Records, Lonely Lands Agency and Mushroom Group; while also performing at events including Laneway Festival, NYE On The Hill and Party In The Paddock.

Hailing from Sydney, pop artist Salty made her debut in 2020, and has consistently been delivering the goods in the studio, as well as on stage supporting the likes of MAY-A, Thomas Headon, Budjerah and Go-Jo. With over 2.2 million TikTok likes, Salty’s sphere of influence is growing fast, as is her body of music. 

Salty’s music draws inspiration from artists including Lily Allen, Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga – influences whose music champions individuality and confidence in spades. This is heard across Salty’s catalogue, from ‘Lucy’ through to ‘Limbo’; and key 2024 tracks ‘Cut U Off’ and ‘See You In 3’. Releasing her debut EP, The Other Side, in November 2024, Salty capitalised on the momentum that had been building; matching smart production and nuanced pop lyricism with fun energy that caught attention of tastemakers including RUSSH Magazine, The Music, Milky and Purple Sneakers; as well as major outlets including Vogue Australia, iHeart Radio, Nova and HIT networks.

The ONES TO WATCH Backed By VODAFONE series has made a solid impact within the Australian music community. In Australia since 2023, the series has been serving industry and fans exclusive opportunities to see some of the country’s best talent perform in intimate environments across Melbourne, Sydney, Darwin and Brisbane, highlighting the talent of the current wave of Australian talent primed to make their impact in other markets.

Since its establishment in North America, the ONES TO WATCH series has been able to support and promote artists such as Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Halsey early in their careers. So far in Australia, ONES TO WATCH has platformed artists including Chanel Loren, J-MILLA, Georgia Lines, Ishan, Adrian Dzvuke, Phebe Starr, J.Tajor, Yung Milla, Juran, Blake Rose, Sophisticated Dingo, STUMPS, Forest Claudette, Teenage Joans, Carla Wehbe, ZPLUTO, WIIGZ, Hoodzy, East AV3, Colourblind and Saint Lane at events around the country.
