Punkfest - Out of Control Army [ Mexico ] with The Resignators

Tickets on sale now, Friday, October 23rd at The Brightside
The amazing Out Of Control Army are heading to Australia for the very first time this October for an explosive national tour presented by Focus Group Music and Ska Nation.
Formed in Mexico City in 2014, the amazing Out Of Control Army have become one of the most exciting bands in the international ska scene. Fusing classic Jamaican ska roots, punk energy, Latin fire and powerhouse brass arrangements, the band has built a reputation for unforgettable live performances and a rapidly growing worldwide following. Their music combines sharp musicianship, infectious rhythm and the kind of crowd connection that turns every show into a celebration.
Australian audiences may already know of the band through their 2024 Mexican tour with Melbourne Ska Orchestra, a successful run that helped spark their desire to tour Australia. A special recording from that tour is set for release to coincide with these long-awaited Australian dates.
Joining them on all shows are Melbourne ska favourites The Resignators. Formed in 2005, The Resignators are one of Australia’s most respected ska acts, known for high-energy performances, strong songwriting and a horn-driven sound that blends ska, reggae, punk and soul influences. Over two decades they have toured widely, built a loyal following and represented Australian ska on the international stage.
Earlier in 2026, The Resignators joined the amazing Out Of Control Army in Mexico, where the two bands formed a strong friendship that now brings them together again for this special Australian run.
Expect massive brass lines, dancefloor rhythms, singalongs, punk spirit and the joyful energy that only ska can deliver. This is a rare chance to catch one of Mexico’s finest live bands on their debut Australian visit, backed by one of Australia’s best.
Do not miss the amazing Out Of Control Army with special guests The Resignators this October.
