This weekend, triple j's One Night Stand festival will return after a five-year hiatus.

The lucky town for 2024 — chosen after more than 2,000 submissions from listeners — is Warrnambool, Victoria, which will welcome G Flip, Ruel and more for a one-of-a-kind party.

To celebrate, we explored the festival's 20-year history through the eyes of a few punters with memorable experiences.

A sign saying "Dalby welcomes you" as a red car drives past.
"I went to the Dalby One Night Stand with my mum in 2012."
A girl in a yellow jacket and a woman in a red jacket hold hands.
"I was a little teenybopper about 16 years old."
Mother and daughter dance in muddy puddles as rain falls in a simple sketch drawing.
"The weather was wild but we danced our little hearts out to 360's 'When I Was Just A Child'.
A sketch drawing of a person on a stage as rain falls on a crowd. A speech bubble says: "Mother nature I fuckin hate ya."
"Then the actual flood began. It was like a rain bomb."
"Think apocalypse: people bolting, shoes stuck in the mud, and those darn plastic ponchos everywhere."
Darkened figures run and cover their heads as rain falls and puddles are visible in a sketch drawing.
A car is parked in front of a building, as water laps at its tires, in a sketch drawing.
"Mum pulled up on the main street in her little Mazda. The waters rose so high we had to stay put and sleep in the car."
A red gumboot floating in water with a toad sticking its head out of the top, sketch drawing.
"The next daty we woke to find mud lines on the car and all through town, plus a million gumboots stuck in the mud."
The mother and daughter hug in the car. A sign outside reads: "Thanks for visiting Dalby."
"Worst but best weekend ever. And so much fun with my mum."

 

People walking under tree near a building with a sign saying "retirment village".
"When my grandmother was sick, Jade and I would often visit her."
An elderly woman whispers in a young man's ears.
"Before she died, she said she was leaving me some money and I should do something important with it."
A man whispers in a woman's ear. The woman smiles. A speech bubble above them shows an image of a ring.
"I said I would make Jade a part of the family."
A man behind the wheel of a car tunes a car radio, where the screen says "triple j".
"When she passed away, I heard triple j were doing a One Night Stand. Jade and I had always talked about going."
A finger points to a ring in a ring holder.
"I didn't tell her I was going to propose."
A man doubled over at the back of a crowd, next to a woman with her hand on his back.
"As soon as we got there I started throwing up I was so nervous."
A man sits on a bed attented to by a paramedic inside a tent, while waving to a woman dancing outside.
"I gathered myself in the medical tent while she went to watch Ocean Alley."
A man next to text saying "It's all about confidence, baby".
Two men with microphones point to the crowd.
"The night went on. Hilltop Hoods started playing."
A man in a crowd holds a phone. A speech bubble says: "Hey, can you film something for me?"
"I was trying to think what would be the perfect song would be. But three songs in I couldn't wait any longer."
A woman dances in a crowd. Behind her, a man says to another woman: "Hey, can you film something for me?"
"Three songs in I was just vibing, having a great time. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to look."
A man on one knee looks upward. A speech bubble says: "Will you marry me?"
"I tapped her on the shoulder and got down on one knee. She went bright red."
A woman looks down, beaming, in shock. A speech bubble says: "Oh my god, holy shit."
"The whole crowd went crazy. I had no idea this was coming. Full panic mode."
A man shows a ring to a woman, whose face beams in delight.
"The look on her face was pure shock but just glowing like the sun. Her eyes were just shimmering."
A phone, held in a hand, shows a proposal taking place on screen. A man kneels down before a woman.
"In the video I just look like I need to pee - dancing on the spot. I ended up putting the ring on the wrong hand."
A woman sitting in the front seat of a car, seen through the window, holds up her hand to admire her ring.
"I wore the ring on the wrong hand for two days but couldn't stop smiling."
A man and woman lie in a hospital bed staring at a swaddled baby in the woman's arms.
"The only time I've seen a bigger smile was when our daughter was born."
A man and woman look to a child in the back seat of a car. A speech bubble says: "Nosebleed sectiooon!"
"Still our top artist on Spotify. Even our daughter will yell at us to put on Hilltop Hoods."
