Next Crop is a definitive list of upcoming Australian artists who will achieve great things over the next twelve months. To coincide with the start of Ausmusic Month triple j have announced this year’s Next Crop – the 20 best new Aussie acts.
Last year’s Next Crop included artists the calibre of Washington, Boy & Bear, Hungry Kids Of Hungary and Jonathan Boulet - all of who found great success in 2010. In previous years Next Crop picked Wolfmother, The Temper Trap, British India, Little Red and
Angus & Julia Stone as ones to watch – artists who now enjoy huge creative and commercial success.
