Two years removed from their last voyage down under, ska-punk legends Less Than Jake return to Australia this spring.
The 'All May Best Friends Are Metalheads' and 'The Science Of Selling Yourself Short' hitmakers will headline concerts in Fremantle, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this October-November.
In their own words, Australia remains "one of our favourite places in the world".
"Australia! We couldn't be more excited to bring you the Circus Down Under tour! We're bringing our friends The Aquabats! and The Suicide Machines along for the ride."
Read our 2024 interview with the band's vocalist-guitarist Chris DeMakes.
The Floridian five piece have built a reputation that goes well beyond nostalgia.
Every return visit to our shores sees full rooms, full sing-alongs and fun times, and is a reminder of why they love to come back.
Dressed in matching masks and coloured costumes inspired by Adam West's 1960s Batman, The Aquabats! ('Super Rad!', 'The Shark Fighter!') have been sharing their own brand of offbeat, campy, part-sketch, punky-ska for three-plus decades.
Fellow ska-punk American veterans The Suicide Machines ('New Girl', 'High Anxiety') make the Circus Down Under tour a triple-treat for local skanking enthusiasts.
No overthinking required here. If you've seen Less Than Jake before, you already know what to expect. If you haven't, it's the time to find out.
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 14 April.
