DZ Deathrays Announce Explosive 2025 ‘Weekend Warriors Regional Australian Tour’ with Star-Studded Lineup
Australian psych-punk icons DZ Deathrays have announced their much-anticipated ‘Weekend Warriors Regional Australian Tour,’ set to ignite stages across the country from February to April 2025. Fresh off a triumphant UK and European tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of their groundbreaking album Black Rat, DZ Deathrays are returning home to deliver their signature high-octane performances alongside a stellar lineup of supporting acts.
The tour marks DZ Deathrays’ first national run since the release of their playful new single, “First Night Fever,” which has captured attention from some of the worlds biggest tastemakers. Joining the legendary Brisbane trio are some of Australia’s most exciting punk and rock talents, including Perth’s politically-charged Last Quokka, garage-rock champions Pretty Uglys, rowdy Melbourne-based Drunk Mums, and grungy duo Mannequin Death Squad. Fans can expect an unforgettable mix of nostalgia and raw energy as each act brings their unique style to the tour.
