Dropkick Murphys Sell Out Sydney Show & Add 2nd Show To Australian Tour With Alkaline Trio.

Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions DROPKICK MURPHYS and CHICAGO’s rock canons ALKALINE TRIO have added a 2nd show in Sydney on Thursday 21 November at the Roundhouse which will see DROPKICK MURPHYS play a completely different set from night one.

Tickets for the 2nd and final Sydney show are on sale now. Tickets for the Brisbane show are running low, so make sure you grab yours today to avoid disappointment.

This marks DROPKICK MURPHY‘s return to Australia for the first time since last appearing at Good Things Festival in 2018 and ALKALINE TRIO‘s first Australian shows in 10 years!

Since 1996, DROPKICK MURPHYS have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts (Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s Certified-Gold album The Warrior’s Code featuring the double platinum classic I’m Shipping Up To Boston. DROPKICK MURPHYS’ music has generated half-a-billion streams, they’ve quietly moved 8 million-plus units worldwide and the band has sold out gigs on multiple continents.

DROPKICK MURPHYS returned to fully electric performances in late 2023 following a pair of critically acclaimed acoustic albums – 2022’s This Machine Still Kills Fascists and 2023’s Okemah Rising – interpreting the work of Woody Guthrie for a new generation. The albums, recorded in Tulsa with trusted collaborator and producer Ted Hutt, exposed the band to new audiences through airplay on stations like SiriusXM’s Outlaw Country, coverage in outlets such as Rolling Stone Country, Paste, CNN, Americana Highways and SPIN, and via DROPKICK MURPHYS’ first-ever acoustic, reserved-seating theater tour in 2022.

Their touring plans for the remainder of the year include a series of festival dates after a run of European festival dates between now and July. They’ll then return to North America and Canada for Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival, Newport Folk Festival, New York State Fair, Envol et Macadam, Music 4 Cancer, Louder Than Life and Aftershock before their string of Australian shows.

In more than 25 years together, ALKALINE TRIO have delivered urgent punk blasts with a dark, driving edge that helped them remain commercially viable without sacrificing their raucous spirit and created their own little universe in their songs with a few short steps away from armageddon. Their music has been a reliable black mirror of reality. Slowly ascending through the Warped Tour ranks into the early 2000s, they reached the Billboard Top 20 with 2003’s mainstream breakthrough Good Mourning. They hit a peak with their seventh set This Addiction, which topped the US rock, alternative, and indie charts in 2010.

Brought together in late 1996 by heartbreak, angst, and the companionship of drinking. They started making a name for themselves in the Midwest with their emotion-fueled, angst-ridden, dark pop-punk and released their full-length debut in 1998 with Goddamnit!, an album whose heartbreak tales and anti-cop rants earned a modest following.

They kicked off the year with the release of their monumental tenth album, Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs. It’s been five years since the beloved punk stalwarts have released an album and to commemorate hitting the big ten milestone, they went back to basics stripping their sound down to the bare essentials of the sonic identity that endeared them to a generation of punk fans. They enlisted Grammy-winning producer Cameron Webb and spent several weeks holed up at Studio 606 in Northridge, California, the private recording space owned by Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters. With more than two decades and ten records under their belts, ALKALINE TRIO’s legacy in the rock canon, as well as their influence on their genre, is undeniable.

2024 will undeniably declare punk rock is not dead – be sure to see DROPKICK MURPHYS and ALKALINE TRIO this Novemberwhen they bring their explosive, high energy live shows down under.

‘Australia always holds a special place in our touring hearts so we can’t wait to come back early 2025 to play the hits and new songs from our forthcoming new album ‘Satellites’. – Danny O’Donoghue

Australia’s favourite Irishmen will embark on seven huge performances across the country, including arena shows in Wollongong and Sydney and a day on the green winery and outdoor shows across the Hunter Valley, Mount Cotton, Geelong, Barossa Valley and Perth.

Frontier Member presale for all shows commence Tuesday 6 August from 10am local time before tickets go on sale on Friday 9 August from 12pm local.time Tickets via frontiertouring.com/thescript

Joining The Script on this epic run of shows will be Brit Award nominated singer Calum Scott (all a day on the green shows),local dynamic pop artist Montaigne (all a day on the green shows), pop-rock multi-platinum trio X Ambassadors (all a day on the green shows plus Sydney and Wollongong arena dates), and up-and-coming Melbourne local Lotte Gallagher (all a day on the green shows excluding Perth).

Last wowing Australian audiences in 2022, The Script took fans on a trip down memory lane with performances of essential tracks such as ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘For The First Time’, ‘Nothing’ and the emotionally charged ‘Breakeven’ reminding fans of the powerful songwriting that propelled The Script to become a household name.

The Script’s recently announced album, Satellites (releasing Friday 16 August via BMG Australia and available for pre-order here) marks their seventh studio album and first since the passing of beloved bandmate and guitarist Mark Sheehan. Opening track ‘Both Ways’ sees the band dabble with an energetic new sound and funky upbeat rhythms. The band followed this release with single ‘At Your Feet’, a dynamic song that takes listeners on a journey across personal lyricism, soaring choruses and intimate emotions. Stream both tracks here.

“The album cover is silhouettes of me, Glen and Ben Sargeant, our bassist, who’s been with us from the beginning. Then we have a hooded silhouette, because the air of Mark is still there”, says lead singer Danny O’Donoghue on the legacy of their adored bandmate. “He always will be, but it’s also giving a tip of the hat to the future. It’ll never be the same Script. We’re just trying to get on and do what it is that we all feel is the next right thing to do and that’s to keep making more great music.”

Since forming in 2001, The Script have cemented themselves as one of the most definitive pop groups of their era, achieving more than ten billion streams (a feat that has since earned them a BRITs Billion Award), twelve million album sales, six UK #1 albums and two Platinum-certified US singles. Five Top 10 ARIA album charts and seven Top 40 singles (including 5 x platinum for ‘Breakeven’ and 10 x platinum for ‘Hall of Fame [feat. will.i.am]’) have established the band’s status as one of Australia’s most loved acts. Tracks such as ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Rain’have solidified the band’s legacy as chart-topping sensations and dazzling live performers.

“The Script have always had a strong tie with Aussie fans and there is a loving energy that can be felt across The Bowl” – The Music

“Perth crowd wowed by ‘flawless’ greatest hits show… it was impossible to fault the band’s performance” – The West Australian

“…the classic much adored Breakeven… saw the crowd swoon to its anthemic encore” – UK Music Reviews

About Calum Scott (all a day on the green shows)

First achieving mainstream recognition as a fan-favourite contestant on Britain’s Got Talent 2015, Calum Scott is a rising pop sensation with a belting voice and persona to match. The 2016 release of seminal hit ‘Dancing On My Own’ has seen over 1 billion Spotify streams to date and catapulted Scott as a star to watch. His 2018 debut album Only Human saw the Brit Award nominated singer reach No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in over 20 countries around the world. His acclaimed 2022 sophomore album Bridges features single Rise, credited by Rolling Stone as “one of the 50 Most Inspirational LGBTQ Songs of All Time”. His recently released single, Roots, blends fast-paced rhythms with Calum’s soaring, powerful voice and free-spirited lyricism.

Interview with Dryden Mitchell (Alien Ant Farm)

ALIEN ANT FARM & CKY ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN CO-HEADLINE TOUR

Two decades after ALIEN ANT FARM topped the charts worldwide with their singles Movies and Smooth Criminal (#3 and #1 on Australian Charts, respectively), you still cannot visit a rock club or turn on rock radio without hearing those songs blasted; evoking joyful memories of a better time when rock music ruled the world and auto-tuned garbage was far off in the distant future.

As great as chart success may be, however, Alien Ant Farm's enduring legacy derives from the seemingly endless catalogue of incredibly crafted and equally worthy alt metal anthems such as Yellow Pages, Homage, Godlike, Glow, Forgive & Forget, Last dAntz, etc. and of course, the energy, ferocity and dedication with which they deliver those songs in a live setting.

2025 will see Alien Ant farm make their very long-awaited return to Australia for a co-headline tour with the equally iconic CKY, fresh off of their successful North American and European “CKY 25 Years” celebration touring.

CKY hoists the flag high for big, raw, authentic, earth-shaking music liberated from useless pretence. They burned it all down, with a raucous, anarchic rock sound soaked in the skate-punk culture that birthed them; and a hard-partying lifestyle onstage and off that left decimated relationships and reputations in its wake. CKY's music is a huge part of the infamous Jackass TV series as well as just about every skate and surf compilation of the era. CKY has toured the world with the likes of Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Deftones; and have seen artists ranging from The Dead South to Polyphia and Dillon Francis cover their iconic songs.

Alien Ant Farm and CKY February 2025 Australian Tour Dates:

Friday 7th February BRISBANE, Princess Theatre

Saturday 8th February SYDNEY, Metro Theatre

Sunday 9th February MELBOURNE, Northcote Theatre

Tuesday 11th February ADELAIDE, Lion Arts Factory

Wednesday 12th February PERTH, Magnet House

Touring the EP consistently across the UK on his own headline tour plus supporting Jake Bugg at London’s Royal Albert Hall and performing at The Great Escape and Neighbourhood Weekender, James has cemented his direction as an artist and creator. His first full length album Are We There Yetwas released in 2023 to acclaim from fans and critics alike.

Dropkick Murphys Announce First Australian Headline Tour In Over A Decade With Alkaline Trio.

Attention Australian punk rockers! We have a huge announcement for you. Two of the most influential and enduring American punk rock bands are heading down under together this November. Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll underdogs turned champions DROPKICK MURPHYS announce their first Australian headline tour in over a decade with Chicago’s rock canons ALKALINE TRIO.

The tour will kick off at AEC Theatre in Adelaide on Friday 15 November before it makes it way to The Forum in Melbourne, Sydney’s Roundhouse before closing their Australian run at Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on Friday 22 November.

This marks DROPKICK MURPHYS’ return to Australia since last appearing at Good Things Festival in 2018 and ALKALINE TRIO‘s first Australian shows in 10 years!

Since 1996, DROPKICK MURPHYS have created the kind of music that’s meant to be chanted at last call, in packed arenas, and during the fourth quarter, third period, or ninth inning of a comeback rally. Their celebrated discography includes four consecutive Billboard top 10 album debuts (Turn Up That Dial, 11 Short Stories Of Pain & Glory, Signed and Sealed in Blood, Going Out In Style), along with 2005’s Certified-Gold album The Warrior’s Code featuring the double platinum classic I’m Shipping Up To Boston. DROPKICK MURPHYS’ music has generated half-a-billion streams, they’ve quietly moved 8 million-plus units worldwide and the band has sold out gigs on multiple continents.

In more than 25 years together, ALKALINE TRIO have delivered urgent punk blasts with a dark, driving edge that helped them remain commercially viable without sacrificing their raucous spirit and created their own little universe in their songs with a few short steps away from armageddon. Their music has been a reliable black mirror of reality. Slowly ascending through the Warped Tour ranks into the early 2000s, they reached the Billboard Top 20 with 2003’s mainstream breakthrough Good Mourning.

Public Enemy to Return to Australia to kick off their ‘On The Grid 35th Anniversary Tour’

Public Enemy to Return to Australia to kick off their ‘On The Grid 35th Anniversary Tour’
The rap revolutionaries will return this October
for a national tour with guests A.B. Original.

Hall of Fame inductees, Hip-Hop revolutionaries, and social rights activists Public Enemy have today announced a much-anticipated return to Australia to commence their ‘On The Grid 35th Anniversary Tour’ this coming October. Fighting the power with them across the country will be none other than Australian hip-hop duo, A.B. Original.

The tour kicks off October 2 at Perth’s Red Hill Auditorium before hitting up the AEC Theatre in Adelaide on October 4, John Cain Arena in Melbourne on October 5, the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on October 9, Newcastle Entertainment Centre on October 11, before heading to Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Outdoors on October 12.

Telstra Plus will have an exclusive presale from 10am (local time) on Friday 28 June, with the General Public Onsale at 10am (local time) on Tuesday 2 July.

Public Enemy was formed in 1985 in Long Island, New York, by friends Chuck D and Flavor Flav and their debut album, Yo! Bum Rush The Show (1987), laid the foundation for their revolutionary sound, blending assertive beats with sharp social commentary. Commencing as an opening act for the Beastie Boys, it was their sophomore effort, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988), that catapulted them to international fame, helping them to collect a long list of accolades including induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Their 1990 album Fear of a Black Planet gave us the raucous Black anthem that defined a nation, “Fight the Power.”

Beyond their musical contributions, Public Enemy‘s impact extends to their activism and cultural influence. They were, and remain, at the forefront of the fight against racial injustice and inequality, using their platform to raise awareness and spark meaningful dialogue. From ground-breaking music videos to candid interviews, the group remains unapologetically vocal about issues affecting the community.

A.B. Original is the collaboration between artist, activist and author Briggs and MC and multi-ARIA Award-winning producer Trials. Indigenous artists from Yorta Yorta and Ngarrindjeri country respectively, A.B. Original are known for their fearless address of racial, societal and systemic injustice. Their purpose is to stand, call out and challenge the status quo of Australia, and provide truth-telling through First Nations’ perspectives on history, society and the Australian national narrative.

This mighty union of Long Island’s finest and A.B. Original will touch down in October.
