Live at the Wireless is a radio show, and now a long standing tradition, of Triple J, an Australian radio station. Live music is one of the central philosophies of the station.
The live broadcasts take a number of forms. Some broadcasts are from open air concerts and festivals, or smaller pub gigs around the country. Many are bands that have been invited into the Triple J studios to play a live set of tracks, usually acoustic. Occasionally, Triple J will give away tickets to listeners, to allow them to be a part of a special live performance in a secret location.
All of the live broadcasts are recorded, and the station has released several double-CD compilations of live tracks. Many complete live sets are traded by music fans worldwide over the internet.Live music is not exclusive to the Live at the Wireless segment - many other shows, including the speciality music shows, also have bands playing acoustic in the studio.
Ash have released their Live at the Wireless set from 1996 as an album - see Live at the Wireless (Ash album).
