Aussie rockers WAAX – the project of Marie “Maz” DeVita – have partnered with Select Music to introduce the mini travelling festival, The Femme Values Tour.

Curated by DeVita and spanning four dates in February and March 2027 across Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia, the tour flips Korn’s Family Values nu-metal tour for a focus on girl power and diversity.

WAAX headlines each night, while DeVita has handpicked artists representing the next generation of Australian talent.

In addition to handpicking artists, DeVita is asking the wider music community to suggest opening acts by city, selected via a social media campaign. Fans can comment or tag #femmevalues to push their favourite artist forward.

“It’s more important than ever to nurture emerging Australian talent, as many festivals and opportunities are becoming harder to come by,” DeVita explained in a statement. “I’m so proud of Australian music and can’t wait to share the stage with some of the country’s most exciting artists!”

She added, “I am not done yet. I feel in my heart that I owe it to myself and the community I have built to continue and more so to show a formidable woman can be solely at the helm.”

Line-ups for The Femme Values Tour will be announced city by city each Monday from Monday, 16 November, via the band’s social media profiles. The Sydney bill will be announced first, followed by Melbourne (Monday, 23 November), Adelaide (Monday, 30 November), and Brisbane (Monday, 7 December).

Early bird tickets are now available for fans signed up to WAAX’s mailing list. The general sale opens on Thursday, 12 November, at 10 am AEDT – you can find more ticketing information here. Dates and venues are listed below.

WAAX released their latest album, Angel’s Mess, earlier this year – their third LP and first since DeVita revived the project in 2023. In addition to being busy with WAAX, DeVita made waves after co-writing Ninajirachi’s song, All I Am.

Angel’s Mess was celebrated with sold-out tours in the US and Australia. Along with launching The Femme Values Tour, WAAX will open for The Amity Affliction this December at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.
