We’re all thinking about summer holidays, including Bootleg Rascal. They haven’t released any new material since selling out shows on their Yin & Yang Australian and New Zealand tour, but they’re already set to hit the road again on their Summer Vacay tour. This time around the lads will follow the sunshine and stop in more regional centres along with the familiar capitals, ensuring more Aussies can see them do what they do best.
“Touring in more remote areas has always been something close to our hearts,” says guitarist Jimmy Young. “We get the chance to bring the show to music fans who might not get the opportunity to catch as much live music than those in major cities.”
Make sure you arrive early enough for the support acts, as Bootleg Rascal have handpicked some of the best up-and-comers you’ll ever year.
There’ll also be some “totally cooked” crowd participation games from Bobby Dazzler’s Sideshow Alley between artist sets. If you’ve ever wanted to play Pinger Pinata, Pin the Toupee on Trump, or Wheel of Misfortune, you know where to go.
Tickets are on sale now from Bootleg Rascal’s website. Given the enthusiastic reception for the last tour, you’ll want to get them sooner rather than later!
