Against Me! have announced that former Rocket From the Crypt and Angels and Airwaves drummer Adam "Atom" Willard will drum for the band on their Australian Big Day Out tour dates.

A tweet made earlier today by frontwoman Laura Jane Grace confirmed that Willard will be filling in on drums for the shows. Jay Weinberg, who drummed for Against Me! between 2010 and 2012, departed the band in December.

Willard is best known for his work drumming in Rocket From the Crypt, Angels and Airwaves, The Offspring and Social Distortion.

Against Me! will play the entire Australian Big Day Out tour this January, with two sidshows - one January 17th in Sydney at the Manning Bar, and the other January 22nd in Melbourne at the Hi-Fi.
