In 2026, triple j is set to welcome two new shows to the grid.

As first revealed by Abby & Tyrone at ABC’s 2026 Showcase, Tom Forrest, best known as Outback Tom, is officially joining the triple j team with a new country music show called Country Club.

No stranger to triple j listeners, Tom’s been a longtime friend of the station, guest-hosting on Blak Out, Drive, and over Summer, and has previously held roles in the triple j Unearthed team. A proud First Nations creator, storyteller, and music lover, Tom is set to bring listeners the very best in country music, as he broadcasts weekly from outback Australia in the Kimberley region of WA. Each week, he’ll showcase the best sounds and stories from local and international country artists. Tune in from 2026, Sundays from 6pm on triple j, simulcast on ABC Country, or anytime on the triple j app.

New show Doof is the home of Australia’s best electronic music, DJs and Producers. Hosted by DJ, 2025 ARIA Award Red Carpet Host and triple j presenter Latifa Tee, Doof shines a spotlight on the homegrown electronic scene, championing all the local artists making waves. From Unearthed discoveries to our biggest global exports, expect fresh tracks, familiar faves, artist chats and deep dives. It’s music, culture and community on full blast. Tune in from 2026, Fridays from 10pm-1am, or anytime on the triple j app.
