Triple J’s One Night Stand has wrapped up for the 11th time in epic fashion, with an estimated crowd of 7,000 flocking to the sleepy Northwest Queensland town of Mount Isa to watch a bunch of the station’s fave homegrown acts (plus — uh — Fatman Scoop) do their thang.

Isa locals had the night of their lives, with the free gig marking one of the biggest ever events the region has ever seen, with millions more non-locals nationwide listening to the whole shebang live via the J-waves. Police have also praised the behaviour of punters at the drug and alcohol-free event to the local paper, so it seems a good time was had by all.
As always, the event housed plenty of gab-worthy moments. Here’s a rundown of the highlight reel.
