Check out the dates for this massive tour featuring some of the biggest punk bands of our time!

Official Press Release:


Resting on laurels has never

been an option for Southern California’s punk rock powerhouse Pennywise.

Let's get this straight. Your average punk band doesn't sell out venues

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

like the 14,000-capacity Long Beach Arena. And your average punk band

doesn't last eighteen months these days let alone eighteen years. Pennywise is not and never will be your average punk band! 


The legendary Hermosa Beach

foursome are set to return to Australia with their bullshit detectors

on high…get set for Pennywise at their explosive best and set

for detonation. Get the message or get out of the way, fuckers.  


On their previous whirlwind

visit, (which only included Sydney and Melbourne shows that sold out

in no time), Sum 41 left thousands of fans pining for tickets

and a national tour. As the selected few witnessed, Sum 41 are more

powerful than ever, spitting in the face of the establishment and delivering

amazing live shows.   


Who can forget the image etched

into our minds of The Vandals creating some of the biggest circle

pit dust bowls back in 2002…Warren standing on speaker stacks with

nothing more than a thin line of gortex between private parts and disconcerting

eyes. With 10 albums under their belt, and being one of the inspirational

founders of the punk rock movement out of Southern California, The

Vandals make their triumphant return to Australia for the first

time in 6 years. 


The unswervingly upbeat Bowling For Soup have been threatening an Australian tour for years…and

what a kick ass lineup to pop their cherry on! Bowling for Soup

will be bringing their gleefully unsophisticated songs about losing

in love, hanging out with your mates and drinking lots of beer. Tunes

like “High School Never Ends”, “1985” and “Girl All The Bad

Guys Want” will have long time fans singing in unison. 


PENNYWISE

/ SUM 41 / THE VANDALS / BOWLING FOR SOUP….this is Punk Rock!
