50th Program

This year 4ZZZ is celebrating its 50th Birthday and to commemorate such an occasion we’ve organised four months of celebrations.

Kicking off with Radiothon, from August 8th to December 8th, we’re rolling out a series of events that honour not only fifty years of independent music and media, but also our vast community of volunteers and supporters.

There are gigs, panel discussions, exhibitions, live broadcasts and plenty of chances to catch up with friends and celebrate what makes community radio so special. 

Big events like ZED50, plenty of genre specific shows and in the coming weeks we will also be announcing our First Nations programming, Panel & Talks series and our Birthday Week celebrations in December including a 50th Birthday Dinner.

Head over to the events page to have a look at what's planned, secure your tickets and get ready to celebrate 50 years of 4ZZZ.

50 Years Of Zed!

2025 marks the 50th year of broadcasting for 4ZZZ! From our first broadcast on December 8th 1975, we've been connecting and amplifying the voices of our local community. Keep an eye out for our 50th birthday celebrations that will be taking place in later in the year- a smorgasbord of live music, visual art, panel talks and on-air celebrations awaits!

We're also collecting stories from zedders throughout the years- if you were ever a volunteer, announcer, or staff member we want to hear from you. 

As we reflect on the last 50 years we're also looking forward to the next 50! If you love what we do, there's never been a better time to show your support by subscribing, donating, and listening to Brisbane's realest radio.
