Kyle Sandilands has fuelled fresh speculation about his media future, with an Instagram account linked to his teased ‘Kyle Sandilands Live’ project posting the date ‘01.07.2026’ alongside the message: ‘Watch This Space. Something Massive.’
The account @kylesandilands.fans uploaded the teaser to Instagram Stories using the same branding and typeface previously associated with the ‘Kyle Sandilands Live’ logo, which briefly appeared in a recent video featuring the former KIIS FM host.

According to Sandilands’ camp, the account is not affiliated with him and “nothing is planned at this stage”.
But watch this space.
The latest tease comes as Sandilands continues his high-profile legal dispute with ARN, following his departure from KIIS FM earlier this year.
Sandilands hints at comeback
The latest supposed tease comes as Sandilands continues his high-profile legal dispute with ARN, following his departure from KIIS FM earlier this year.
Last month, Sandilands signalled a return to the spotlight in a video posted to the same fan account, telling followers he was preparing a new venture while fighting to enforce his reported 10-year, $100 million ARN contract.
In the clip, Sandilands said he intended to return to broadcasting and fulfil the remaining years of the deal.
Addressing supporters directly, he joked that it was “a surprise that I’ve even got fans left” before thanking them for sticking by him.
He then teased the upcoming project.
“Don’t tell anyone, but I’m working on a new project, and all will be revealed soon,” he said.
“Thank you for your prayers – coming back guys, bigger than ever hopefully… actually not fatter.”
The video offered few concrete details, though a logo reading “Kyle Sandilands Live” appeared briefly on a nearby screen as Sandilands acknowledged his manager, Bruno Bouchet.
Digital platform speculation grows
While no official platform or format has been confirmed, the repeated references to a “live” project have prompted speculation that Sandilands could pivot toward a direct-to-audience digital model, potentially through YouTube, streaming or podcasting.
The move would mirror a broader trend among high-profile media personalities seeking to build independent audiences outside traditional broadcast networks.
Piers Morgan launched his YouTube-led platform Piers Morgan Uncensored after exiting Good Morning Britain, while Karl Stefanovic recently expanded into podcasting alongside his role on Nine’s Today.
For Sandilands, the timing remains significant.
His exit from KIIS FM followed a public breakdown in his working relationship with long-time co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
Henderson later claimed she had previously lodged complaints about Sandilands and said she felt unsafe continuing to work alongside him following the incident. She was subsequently released from her contract and is now suing ARN for $82 million, alleging unfair termination.
