Am I the only one seeing bands announcing shows for the second-half of the year feeling it’s way too early to start thinking so far ahead? If you love classic Aussie rock, you’re going to want to reserve space in your calendar though, as The Screaming Jets and Boom Crash Opera are teaming up for one big tour, dubbed the Rock Radio Riot tour.
“The Screaming Jets have always, always, always promoted Australian rock ‘n’ roll,” confirmed The Jets frontman, Dave Gleeson. “Australian rock ‘n’ roll is a mission, it‘s a vocation, it is something that must be a part of your life. This tour is a way of reminding us all of the days when Australian music flooded the national radio airwaves. Let’s get back to that again.”
Expect to hear all the hits from these massive Aussie acts in the venues they were meant to be heard at. These guys could easily sell out theatres, but they’d rather take you to places with standing room and sticky floors. Rock on!
