Wright Hall

Ever wonder what really happens before a band takes the stage for a huge competition? Big Night Out x Woroni: Meet the Bands pulls back the curtain, offering a raw and immediate audio snapshot from inside the green room. Produced by the team at Woroni Radio, this podcast is recorded live during the annual IAC Big Night Out, capturing the nerves, the last-minute rehearsals, and the candid conversations of the ANU residential hall bands as they prepare to compete. You’ll hear unfiltered perspectives from the musicians themselves-the laughter, the strategy, the sheer adrenaline of participating in one of the campus’s most anticipated events. It’s less a formal interview series and more like having a backstage pass, where the atmosphere is as much a part of the story as the performances. Each episode immerses you in the vibrant, behind-the-scenes culture of student performing arts, recorded on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land. For anyone interested in the creative process, community, and the unvarnished reality of live music, this series provides a unique and authentic listen. Tune in to experience the moments that usually happen just out of sight.
