An event designed to bring music to rural and regional audiences, triple j asks the fans to help choose the location.
Perhaps with enough people power we can get another event to discover just how great the Deni Festival Site - home to the Deni Ute Muster - is.
This year, triple j is teaming up with Music Australia to put on the party, while raising critical funds for Australian music industry charity, Support Act.
We know Deni is the perfect setting, so now is out time to persuade triple j and the ABC.

The sound of heavy machinery can be heard whirring through the CBD again.
After a short break, work has resumed on the transformation of the Deniliquin Skate Park.
Demolition started in February, two weeks after Edward River Council announced the rejuvenation of the Civic Place facility would begin.
Civil works are now following, and then construction and landscaping of the new skate park will commence.
The new skate park will cater for people of all ages and skill levels.
The design - developed in consultation with the community in 2022 - aims to reflect the natural landscape setting of the living lagoons ecosystems.
It is being funded by the NSW Places to Play program, with a $500,000 grant secured in March last year.
The work is being completed by Independent Concrete Construction.

Tomorrow is the second Saturday of the month, which means it’s Naponda Farmers’ Market time.
Market co-ordinator Pam Ellerman expects alot of the regular stallholders to be in attendance again, which will include those with fresh farm produce ready for the table.
With the weather starting to cool down, she says it will be the perfect opportunity to get vegetables for the tummy warming soups and stews.
The monthly fundraising barbecue from Naponda will do the same tomorrow morning.
The market, like the Naponda Store, raises money for items which support patients and staff at Deniliquin Hospital.
It’s also great exposure for our local producers and makers, so pop down and show your support.
