Kyle Sandilands has taken the next step after teasing his new career amid his legal battle with the Australian Radio Network.
An Instagram page called Kyle Sandilands Live has popped up, with one post teasing “something massive” is coming on July 1.
The video is a simple black background with white text over the top, starting with “watch this space” and then “something massive” with the date “01.07.26”.

Given the name of the page, it seems safe to assume he’ll be starting his own live show on YouTube, given he likely can’t return to the airwaves until his legal battle is finished.
The video comes weeks after Sandilands teased his comeback via a social media fan page.
“Don’t tell anyone, but I’m working on a new project and all will be revealed soon,” he said in the video.

“Thank you for your prayers – coming back guys, bigger than ever hopefully… actually not fatter.”
Sandilands then detailed a diet his wife Tegan had put him on and how he’d cheated it with Twirl and a can of Coke, before his manager Bruno Bouchet was heard in the background telling him he looked great.
“Thank you,” Sandilands said, before telling the camera, “That’s Bruno, he’s paid to say… well, he’s not paid at the moment.
“Oh, that means so much more to me. Give us a cuddle.”
The broadcaster also joked it came as “a surprise that I’ve even got fans left” before thanking them for their support since his surprise sacking from KIIS FM last month.
He’s now engaged in a legal battle over his 10-year $100 million contract with the station’s owners, Australian Radio Network (ARN), with the shock jock saying he just wants to be back on the airwaves and honour the remaining eight years of his contract.
Sandilands, one half of the Kyle and Jackie O Show, was taken off the airwaves in February after an on-air clash with his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson snowballed into a fight that ended their 25-year friendship and working relationship.
Henderson claimed she lodged a complaint about her co-host previously and after the more recent incident, said she felt unsafe working alongside him and was subsequently also released from her contract.
She’s now filed an $82.25 million suit against ARN, alleging her termination from her KIIS FM radio show with Sandilands was against the Fair Work Act.
Meanwhile, Sandilands is seeking to have the remainder of his $100 million contract honoured.
Court documents allege “consistent bullying” from Sandilands – which he has denied – made Henderson feel “psychologically unwell, defamed and humiliated”.
ARN Media disputes Henderson and Sandilands’ claims and will defend against the suit in court.
ARN is also counter-suing the duo, claiming they should both repay lost advertising revenue after the show was pulled off air, and that Sandilands should return 87.9 per cent of his $3 million sign-on bonus.
