Sydney-via-Melbourne artist, storyteller and performer Jack Bergin is set to take the reins on triple j’s new heavy music program CORE.
Kicking off tonight from 9pm and every Tuesday at 9pm after that, CORE is the triple j show that explores the broad spectrum of heavy music. The new program will be a hub for metal, hardcore, punk, emo, shoegaze, and everything in between—connecting triple j listeners with the best new releases, while also sharing artist interviews, the latest in touring news, and more.
Jack shares: “I’m so excited to join the triple j team and kick off 2025 with a bang. I discovered triple j via the specialist heavy programs in high school and had the station as the soundtrack to my day-to-day life over my formative years, so it’s a truly special feeling to be where I am right now. I cannot wait to continue flying the flag for Australian music and share my passion and love for our heavy music scene down under.”
Having fronted the acclaimed Naarm/Melbourne four-piece Void of Vision, Jack comes to triple j off the back of what’s been a massive 12 months, which included a support slot on Parkway Drive’s mega anniversary tour, an international tour with Stray From The Path, and the release of the band’s fourth studio album What I’ll Leave Behind.
Catch CORE on triple j Tuesdays from 9pm with Jack Bergin. Listen on the radio, stream online or via the triple j app, and connect with triple j on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
