The Rubens

Formed in Menangle, NSW, The Rubens are made up of Margin brothers Zaac, Sam and Elliott, alongside long-time friends Scott Baldwin and William Zeglis.

Since forming in 2011, the band have grown into one of Australia’s most loved alternative rock acts.

Their breakout came quickly after uploading ‘Lay It Down’ to triple j Unearthed, winning the Unearthed Homebake competition and setting the tone for what would become a huge career. Their self-titled debut album followed in 2012, earning them triple j Unearthed Artist of the Year, multiple Hottest 100 entries, and ARIA Platinum certification. The band’s follow-up album, Hoops, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Charts, with the title track ‘Hoops’ taking out the #1 spot in triple J’s Hottest 100 and going on to achieve multi-platinum status. Known for their ability to craft both anthemic hits and intimate moments, The Rubens quickly became a staple across major festivals and sold-out tours both in Australia and internationally.

Their fourth album, 0202, debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts, with standout single ‘Live In Life’ achieving double platinum status and widespread acclaim. With over 350 million streams globally, The Rubens have cemented themselves as one of Australia’s most consistent and influential bands.

Renowned for their high-energy performances and crowd sing-alongs, the band most recently toured their fifth album SODA to over 30,000 fans across regional Australia, continuing their deep connection with audiences nationwide.

Now, with new music on the horizon, including the indie-pop gem ‘Goanna’, The Rubens are set to bring their signature sound and electric live energy to the stage once again.
