Where do we sign up?

More Refused Refused Profile

They were set to tour the country earlier this year in support of the Soundwave festival before it's untimely demise, but legendary Swedish hardcore punkers Refused have announced they'll be making their triumphant return to Australia in 2017 with some huge special guests. 

Embarking on a headline tour next January, the four-piece outfit will be joined by New York titans Sick Of It All (celebrating their 30th anniversary) and Melbourne's own High Tension. 

The tour comes on the back of Refused's 2015-released record, Freedom — the group's first LP in 17 years after reforming in 2012.

The three bands will perform shows together in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Fremantle.

Tickets for all shows go on sale from 9am on Wednesday, 13 July.
