Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Australia, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing almost 10x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album Get Born. The album produced a string of classic singles in Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, and Look What You've Done and netted the band 6x 2004 ARIA awards. Both Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Cold Hard Bitch peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
Jet’s follow up album Shine On followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Bring It On Back and Rip It Up, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world, and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007.
2023 marked 20 years since the release of their debut album Get Born. To celebrate Jet embarked on their first band shows in 5 years, playing Get Born in full, re-visiting the incredible tracklist that won them fans right across the world – including such timeless tracks such as Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Look What You’ve Done, Rollover DJ and Get Me Outta Here – songs that sound as invigorating today as they did 20 years ago.
Reflecting on the album, Nic Cester said, ‘Get Born was a rare and unique moment of total planetary alignment where we somehow managed to capture lighting in a bottle.’
In November 2023 Jet received the honour of being the 2023 ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees.
Jet have just come off the road touring around Australia, playing sold out shows on their 20 Years Of Get Born Extended Edition Tour – an extension of their highly successful tour from September last year. The band head overseas in September for another run of performances in Italy, UK, Ireland and The USA.
