In between supporting Death From Above 1979, DZ Deathrays are launching their own mammoth regional festival tour, in early 2025. They’ve got a slew of bands supporting them, from Last Quokka to Pretty Uglys, Drunk Mums, Mannequin Death Squad and much more.
Needing no introduction to our readers, DZ Deathrays have won accolades such as ARIA Best Rock/Heavy Metal Album and AIR Best Independent Hard Rock or Punk Album for Bloodstreams and Black Rat, well as AIR Best Independent Album or EP for Positive Rising Pt. 1. These guys know how to make good hard rocking albums and their live stage shows are legendary.
They’ve just released a playful new single which continues the tradition of memorable songs.
The Brisbane boys have just finished a run of shows in Europe and the UK , so they’ll be keen to recharge with some locals, including hitting up hometown Bundaberg for the first time. From their debut album Bloodstreams, to the celebrated sophomore album Black Rat to recent releases such as R.I.F.F. and Bloody Lovely, there’s a mountain of great tracks to throw into the set list.
And they won’t be partying alone – check out the absolutely monster line-up below!
