The Schooner Or Later Sydney Harbour Cruise, headlined by Frenzal Rhomb, is coming up fast—and the band have some surprises in store.

In a move that will thrill the most devoted Frenzal Rhomb fans, the Aussie rockers will perform their debut EP, Dick Sandwich, from start to finish at the cruise, departing Sydney Harbour next month. Additionally, the band will reunite with original guitarist Ben Costello to play those old songs live.

Sharing the setlist update on social media, the band said: “In a power move that will impress about 27 people worldwide, Frenzal Rhomb will be playing their seminal Dick Sandwich EP from start to finish with OG guitarist Ben Costello... Lindsay [McDougall] will be serving drinks and no doubt hassling Ben for an autograph at this point in an otherwise hit-laden set!”

The Dick Sandwich EP was released in the early 90s. With a graphic front cover and posters with a similar image, Frenzal Rhomb quickly got banned at some venues across Australia—the type of action that immediately catapults a joking punk-rock band to legend status.

One of the EP’s tracks, Roger (I Wish I Was as Credible as Roger Climpson), gained the attention of its subject, Seven News anchor Roger Climpson, who then posed with the band for a photo. The release also features the fan favourite tracks Chemotherapy and Home And Away, the group’s take on the TV series’ theme.

Following the release of Dick Sandwich, Frenzal Rhomb were named the local support act for tours by blink-182, The Offspring, and Bad Religion.

At the Schooner Or Later Sydney Harbour Cruise, Frenzal Rhomb will be joined by Melbourne’s Mid Youth Crisis and special guests ARSE and Melvic Centre.

The 2026 event will take place on Sunday, 15 February, from 2 pm to 6 pm AEDT. Four hours cruising across Sydney Harbour will begin from Casino Wharf in Pyrmont. Punters aged 18 and above are welcome, and younger fans can also attend, provided a guardian accompanies them.

The final 100 tickets are available here.
