When a band can make it feel like a summer party anywhere they go, you know you're in for a good time. And with over three decades in their wake as a band, ๐๐Ž๐–๐‹๐ˆ๐๐† ๐…๐Ž๐‘ ๐’๐Ž๐”๐, aka the self-proclaimed "9th greatest pop punk band in history", have left an indelible mark on their genre and pop culture in general, roaring out of Texas in 1994 and never looking back. Eleven studio albums, including two Silver and Gold certified LPs? Yes. Appearances on multiple high-profile soundtracks, including a Disney Channel theme song staple? You bet. Endless amounts of humour, high-octane performances and earworm hits that you'll still know the lyrics to decades after their release? Suffice to say, ๐๐Ž๐–๐‹๐ˆ๐๐† ๐…๐Ž๐‘ ๐’๐Ž๐”๐ are here for a good time and a long time, and are definitely not slowing down anytime soon.
Recently celebrating the 20th anniversary of their iconic 2004 album A Hangover You Don't Deserve, which also included their biggest UK tour to date, ๐๐Ž๐–๐‹๐ˆ๐๐† ๐…๐Ž๐‘ ๐’๐Ž๐”๐ are set to headline Wembley Arena in London next month, alongside currently working towards the release of a live acoustic album, Stoked On Trent, which will boast pop-punk covers recorded in Manchester during their recent tour. And in 2026, ๐๐Ž๐–๐‹๐ˆ๐๐† ๐…๐Ž๐‘ ๐’๐Ž๐”๐ will continue to jubilantly fly the flag for pop punk, including a return to Australian stages next May after their acclaimed appearances at 2024's Good Things Festival and headline sideshows, with ๐‘Š๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™ ๐‘‚๐‘“ ๐‘†๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘›๐‘‘ declaring of BFS's Melbourne sideshow at the time: "๐‘คโ„Ž๐‘Ž๐‘ก'๐‘  ๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘ก ๐‘ก๐‘œ ๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘Ž ๐‘›๐‘–๐‘”โ„Ž๐‘ก ๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ก ๐‘ค๐‘–๐‘กโ„Ž ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘ข๐‘ก๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ๐‘ ๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘™๐‘’ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘”๐‘™๐‘’๐‘’-๐‘–๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘ข๐‘๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐ต๐‘œ๐‘ค๐‘™๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐น๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ ๐‘†๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘?".
Helmed by the prolific titular ๐…๐‘๐€๐๐Š ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘ himself, ๐…๐‘๐€๐๐Š ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘ & ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐’๐‹๐„๐„๐๐ˆ๐๐† ๐’๐Ž๐”๐‹๐’ have been weaving magic together since the mid-2000s. Surrounding TURNER's pivot to solo artist terrain after his earlier career fronting post-hardcore act Million Dead, ๐…๐‘๐€๐๐Š ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘ & ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐’๐‹๐„๐„๐๐ˆ๐๐† ๐’๐Ž๐”๐‹๐’ have gone on to record and perform for decades, with ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘ now also in command of ten solo studio albums, 3000+ live shows, a #1 album courtesy of 2022's FTHC, millions of global album sales, and live stints around the world spanning all continents, a "50 States in 50 days tour" across North America, performing at practically every UK venue imaginable, and even an appearance as part of the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony.
Most recently releasing his tenth studio album, 2024's Undefeated, ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘ once again showcased his dexterous range, emotional depth and his trademark knack for blending punk, folk and rock that is inescapably infectious and heartfelt. An artist who has sold out massive venues within hours, hosts an annual award-winning four-day international festival, Lost Evenings, and tirelessly advocates for grassroots music venues and businesses amongst many other pursuits, ๐…๐‘๐€๐๐Š ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘โ€™s previous Australian performances have also been met with nothing but acclaim, with Everblack Media lauding the band's 2023 Bluesfest Byron Bay performance, praising "departing such an amazing set is damn hard. If you're a fan, you know. If you weren't before, you are now. We await your inevitable return Mr Turner."
Bringing two prolific live artists under one roof for a run of monumental shows in 2026, don't miss your chance to roll them bones and revel in some endlessly good vibes with both ๐…๐‘๐€๐๐Š ๐“๐”๐‘๐๐„๐‘ & ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐’๐‹๐„๐„๐๐ˆ๐๐† ๐’๐Ž๐”๐‹๐’ and ๐๐Ž๐–๐‹๐ˆ๐๐† ๐…๐Ž๐‘ ๐’๐Ž๐”๐ next May.
