Hailing from Glasgow, Dananananaykroyd have taken the UK by storm; being crowned as the “best live band in Britain”. The band are known for their dynamically - charged, hyper energetic live shows that consist of not one but two drum kits. Their album Hey Everyone will be thrashing its way over to Australia on the 17th of July, just before they hit the stage with Regular John and perform at the sold out Splendour in the Grass.
Tickets are on sale the 2nd of July

Regular John touring with Monster Magnet
New Jerseys finest Monster Magnet will be gracing our shores this September and joining them for the ride will be Griffith turned Sydney boys Regular John. The guys will join them for Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
This is Monster Magnets first headline tour to Australia in 10 years. For those of you unfamiliar with Monster Magnet they have been described as a band that “will go down in music history as retro rock visionaries. Fusing their metal, punk, space rock, and psychedelic influences, the band developed a sludgy, feedback-heavy hard rock sound indulging their sex and drug-fueled fantasies. They become one of the most successful and influential bands of the era’s burgeoning rock movement."
This show is not to be missed. Make sure you check them out at the following venues.
