TRIXTER ANNOUNCE FIRST-EVER AUSTRALIAN TOUR
With Special Guests Stevie Rachelle (Tuff) and Lorraine Lewis (Femme Fatale)
The ’80s and early ’90s produced a wave of hard rock acts built on killer riffs, massive hooks, and songs that could stand toe-to-toe with the era’s biggest names. It was the fans who kept those bands thriving then, just as they do now, with the resurgence of classic hard rock dominating live circuits across the globe.
Better late than never, the wait for loyal hard rock and melodic rock fans is finally over. New Jersey’s TRIXTER are heading to Australia in March 2026, marking the first time the Jersey powerhouse will bring their signature brand of high-energy, feel-good glam and melodic hard rock to Australian shores.
Known for chart-topping hits like “Give It to Me Good,” “One in a Million,” and “Surrender,” the band’s brilliant self-titled debut (1990) and its follow-up “Hear” (1992) made them fixtures on MTV and staples of the early ’90s hard rock scene. TRIXTER captivated fans with their youthful energy, rebellious image, and unstoppable hooks. But it was on stage where the band truly came alive, sharing the spotlight with rock giants such as KISS, Poison, and Scorpions, and winning over audiences worldwide.
Decades later, the core of founders Steve Brown (guitar/vocals) and P.J. Farley (bass/vocals) remains intact. Now joined by powerhouse drummer Ben Hans, the trio have reignited the TRIXTER flame, earning rave reviews for their raw, high-voltage live performances.
Steve Brown, also celebrated for his work with Ace Frehley and as a fill-in guitarist for Def Leppard, now fronts the band with renewed authenticity and ferocity. Together, the trio delivers the classics with renewed fire and precision, celebrating 40 years of rock ’n’ roll brotherhood. All Music Magazine recently hailed their current run as “one of the best ’80s rock tours currently happening.”
Keeping the spirit of the Sunset Strip alive, Stevie Rachelle, the charismatic frontman of Tuff, joins the tour as special guest. Following his fan-favourite performance at Glam Fest Australia 2023, Stevie will return to deliver a full-throttle set packed with anthems from Tuff’s cult classic debut “What Comes Around, Goes Around” and other fan favourites from the Tuff catalogue.
Rounding out this powerhouse lineup, Australian fans will finally get to witness Femme Fatale frontwoman Lorraine Lewis live for the first time. A beloved icon of the ’80s hard rock scene, Lorraine has recently fronted Vixen and continues to turn heads with her powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence. She recently released her new single “Bad Love” from her forthcoming 2026 album, a project that reunites her with TRIXTER’s own Steve Brown.
On the upcoming tour, P.J. Farley says:
“We couldn’t be more excited about bringing Trixter to Australia for the first time! To say it’s long overdue is a Down Under statement! We’re looking forward to sharing the stage with our good friends Stevie Rachelle and Lorraine Lewis and bringing one hell of a party!”
The TRIXTER Australian Tour 2026 promises to be a nostalgic, high-octane celebration of good-time rock ’n’ roll, bringing the spirit of arena hard rock to intimate stages for fans who never got to experience it live.
Better late than never.
