List of Rage guest programmers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rage (stylised as rage) is an all-night Australian music video program broadcast on ABC Television since 1987, hosted by a large number of guest presenters since 1990. This article lists the presenters to date.

Background

[edit]

Starting with Andrew Denton in 1990, Rage has a long tradition of inviting a band or artist host the show for the Saturday night episode.[1] The hosts select and introduce their favourite music videos from the Rage library. This gives an insight into the bands' and artists' influences, which are highly regarded by fans whose tapings of the program are highly sought after. Rage has had hundreds of artists host the show over its vast history, as well as politicians, comedians, writers, TV hosts and other figures in the music and entertainment industry. Janet English and Bernard Fanning have programmed the show the most, having each appeared on six different occasions. They are followed by Mike Patton, Paul Dempsey and Tex Perkins, who have appeared five times apiece.[citation needed]

rage often filmed their guest presenters in various hotels, backstage green rooms, bars, and parts of the ABC building, including the triple j conference room in Ultimo, Sydney. They now mostly film out of their own purpose-built rage studio in ABC Ultimo, Sydney, but also at music festivals and occasionally in musician's homes and hotels.

From March 2020, when COVID-19 pandemic restrictions began to be rolled out in Australia, rage permitted select artists to guest program the show over video call. The nearly two-year-long studio filming hiatus for international guests lasted from March 18, 2020, until March 9, 2022, when Gavin Rossdale from Bush filmed a guest program in the rage studio to coincide with Australia's first international tour since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Under The Southern Stars concert series.
