Twenty years after ruined Johnny’s Bar Mitzvah, punk rock’s premier cover band is back to wreak havoc on another important coming-of-age ceremony. This time, a Quinceañera and we are bringing this fiesta to the land of the Long weekend!

Wed Oct 30: The Tivoli, Brisbane
Fri Nov 1 : Miami Marketta, Gold Coast
Sat Nov 2 : Bar on the Hill, Newcastle
Sun Nov 3 : The Baso, Canberra
Wed Nov 6 : Enmore. Sydney
Fri Nov 8 : Torquay Hotel, Torquay
Sat Nov 9 : Forum, Melbourne
Sun Nov 10 : The Gov, Adelaide
Wed Nov 13 : The Astor Theatre Perth

Not exclusive to teen ears and audiences, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, “¡Blow it…at Madison’s Quinceañera!” all comes together to create a performance that rises (even as It’s sinking) to the occasion. Ushering new songs and old favourites on the road, you don’t have to be in on the joke to enjoy their album or their live shows.

Rapscallion crooner and front man, Spike Slawson said it best, “I would like this to be considered indicative of what a live show by the Gimme Gimmes can be” he says. “The only difference is that there would be people that wanted to hear us specifically and came to see us.”

Accompanying the Gimmes are the mystifying, shocking, self-proclaimed “last punk band”, Dwarves with their unapologetic, middle-finger attitude and thrash, ruffian performances we reckon you’ll have a good time.

Come crack open a couple cold ones and see Me First and The Gimme Gimmes in a city near you!

One of the most influential bands of their generation and beyond, mark their 40th anniversary in 2024 with a return tour to Australia and New Zealand this July/August!

From the moment the Reid brothers (Jim and William) first pressed the record button on their Portastudio in the early 1980’s, the intense, sometimes brutal, often darkly romantic music they made has always felt like past, present and future smashed together, alchemising into something startling.

Consistently defying musical boundaries, blending intense melodies with raw emotion to create a mesmerising sonic experience, JAMC anthems such as Just Like Honey, April Skies and Happy When It Rains are timeless statements of artistic excellence. Shaping the post-punk landscape with a legacy that continues to inspire awe and reverence.

From their origins on the outskirts of Glasgow, The Jesus and Mary Chain have gone on to influence many of music’s greatest minds, and are consistently referenced as a chief source of inspiration for the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Nirvana. 1985’s Psychocandy is widely considered to be one of the most influential post punk records ever released.

With new album, Glasgow Eyes in hand, the duo continue to seamlessly fuse electronica and rock with as much innovation as they’ve always had. Embracing their punk roots, while maintaining their anarchic spirit.

As outsiders who shaped the very fabric of British music history, The Jesus and Mary Chain stand apart yet are one of the most influential acts of the modern era.

Jim Reid states that, “We’ve never fit in anywhere, and that’s just fine with us. We are the party, and that’s all that matters.”

Don’t miss your chance to experience The Jesus and Mary Chain as they roll though your town!

LADYHAWKE’s 15th ANNIVERSARY ALBUM TOUR
Performing the debut album in its entirety!

Acclaimed Electro Rock-Pop Synth Artist Ladyhawke (‘Pip’ Brown) burst onto the international music scene with her self-titled debut album, which celebrates this year its 15th Anniversary! To honour the major milestone and calls from fans after the UK show run dates sold out in February, Ladyhawke is bringing her electrifying anniversary live show to Australia this July/August and perform the album in its entirety!

From her early days playing in Wellington band Two Lane Blacktop and Sydney act Teenager (formed by Nick Littlemore), Pip Brown’s knack for writing a catchy pop hook has garnered her global recognition. Coupled with 80’s rock-chic ambiance, Pip quickly made a name for herself under the moniker Ladyhawke, releasing her debut self-titled album in 2008, boasting electro-pop classic gems ‘My Delirium’ & ‘Paris Is Burning’.

The highly praised debut album achieved the coveted top spot in New Zealand, while also securing positions in the Top 20 charts in the UK, Europe, and Australia. It garnered numerous prestigious awards from ARIA, BRIT, MTV, and NME. This success propelled Ladyhawke on a global tour, during which she was invited to perform at esteemed festivals such as Big Day Out, Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass, and Laneway.

New to touring? Starting a Fresh band? Overwhelmed with keeping track of the travel you have booked? Or just not sure where to start?!

Speak to us about creating a budget friendly tour programme to help you maximise your GIG profits without blowing it on travel.

Our contracted supplier rates are industry exclusive and we know where you should stay when trying to stretch your budget as far as it can go.

Our top tips to not blow your budget on small touring travel:

1) Maximise your accom budget by staying in apartments or twin share hotel rooms, and where possible self cook your meals to avoid room service and expensive breakfast charges.

2) Don’t collect your car from an airport to save about around 30-50% premium location fees. These fees get added on top of every other fee, so can be a HUGE shock at the end of a rental. Sometimes it’s even cheaper to Uber or taxi to a nearby depot to collect your vehicle!

3) Where your tour party allows it, Book an 8 seater instead of a 12 seater; these allow you to travel one way between depots without returning to the original pick up spot. These will usually have unlimited kms also where as 12 seaters have limited mileage before excess charges kick in.

Contact us for help on your next tour!

Renowned for their epic live performances, both sonically and visually, The Dandy Warhols will return once again to Australia and New Zealand in April 2024! Australia hosts one of the band's largest and most devoted fan bases in the world, a relationship built upon since their inaugural tour back in 1998.

Melding psych-rock, power pop, and synth pop with a satirical, pop-art sensibility, The Dandy Warhols are as unique as they are pioneering. With a string of hits ingrained in pop culture including "Not If You Were the Last Ju**ie on Earth”, "Bohemian Like You”, “We Used To Be Friends”, they ruled the last years of the 90’s and were often cited as America’s answer to Brit Pop.

With over a quarter of a billion streams across 10 studio albums, six EPs, and 27 singles to date, the band are one of the most fundamental and influential rock acts of the 21st century gracing the stages at some of the worlds biggest festivals including Glastonbury, Meltdown Festival in the UK (where they were personally selected by none other than David Bowie), and locally hit the main stage at Splendour In the Grass.

The band’s new single “The Summer Of Hate” is 100% typical Dandy’s; that unmistakable groove, Courtney’s Lou Reed like croon, and an effortless psychedelic vibe that just oozes cool. Brooklyn Vegan describe the song as “a homage to the sounds of The Damned, The MC5, and The Stooges”.

The new album “Rockmaker” is set for March 2024 - just in time for the Australia & New Zealand tour for fans to hear new music plus all the fan faves.

Mudvayne have sold more than six million albums worldwide with 3 Platinum albums in Australia alone.

They were honoured with the first ever MTV2 Award and were heavily featured in the pages of Rolling Stone, Revolver, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, Blender, Maxim, Spin, Guitar World, USA Today and countless others media outlets where metal bands fear to tread. They were even written into a pivotal episode of The Sopranos!

For most artists, such achievements usually mark the summation of an entire career - if they’re lucky. For Mudvayne, that was just their first 5 years.

Mudvayne's musical alchemy defies categorisation, seamlessly blending death metal, jazz, fusion, progressive rock, and world music into an audacious mix that completely sets them apart from their peers; so much so that they are unofficially credited with creating the ‘math metal’ genre.

Coal Chamber were one of the first bands to weave detuned guitars, noisy textures, white knuckle intensity, hardcore punk and hip hop like they were always meant to be.

Bridging the gap between heavy metal power and industrial groove at an infectious tempo, their self-titled debut delivered the classics, Loco, Sway, Big Truck and Oddity and was included in Kerrang! Magazines’ '21 Greatest Nu-Metal Albums of All Time’. Their influence is undeniable!

After an absence of well over a decade, Mudvayne and Coal Chamber have joined forces for this EPIC Australian tour in February.
