Legendary Australian rock band Violent Soho are stoked to announce their return to the live stage with a very limited run of headline shows in theatres across the East Coast of Australia this September.
The announcement follows the recent 10th anniversary celebration of their iconic album WACO, marked by the release of a limited-edition vinyl pressing. The band also made a surprise appearance with Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus at the Sydney Opera House last month that saw fans begin speculating on a possible return.
Formed in 2004 in the Brisbane suburb of Mansfield, Violent Soho quickly established themselves as one of the greatest live acts in Australia. An intrinsic part of the fabric of the Australian music scene, the band built a community of like-minded music lovers, releasing ARIA Gold-accredited Hungry Ghost in 2013, propelling them into the hearts and stereos of many around the world.
The album quickly became a cult classic, soundtracking skate videos and house parties across the country, and leading to Soho's first mainstage performance at Splendour in the Grass in 2014, an iconic moment for the band and fans alike.
Across their nearly 20-year career the band won two ARIA Awards for ‘Best Rock Album’ and ‘Best Group’, an AIR Award for ‘Best Hard Rock, Metal or Punk Album’ and achieved multiple Double Platinum, Platinum and Gold singles and a placing at #40 for Covered in Chrome in the triple j Hottest 100 of all time. Their last two albums (Everything Is A-OK and WACO) debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts with the 10th Anniversary vinyl repressing of Hungry Ghost released in 2023, garnering a #1 Australian Album on the ARIA Charts, cementing its lasting impact.
After years of tireless touring, in 2022 the band announced an indefinite hiatus. Four years later, Violent Soho return to the stage bringing their exuberantly, adrenaline packed live show once again.
