Ladies & Gentlemen...prepare yourselves for a pop punk celebration for the ages in 2025! Today, beloved Budgewoi trio Short Stack are pleased to announce a huge headline run celebrating their debut 2009 album Stack Is The New Black, with the 15 Years Of Stack Is The New Black tour set to sway across the country next June.
Since first forming in the early 2000s, Short Stack have amassed a dizzying array of accolades, including being dubbed Channel V Oz Artist of the Year twice (in 2008 and 2010), scoring the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards Fave Aussie Band in 2010, four #1 albums on the ARIA Australian Albums charts, with the most recent one being Maybe There’s No Heaven in 2022, and plenty of gold and platinum-selling singles (and iconic hairstyles) along the way.
Released in 2009, Stack Is The New Black was an instant viral sensation, boasting wall-to-wall pop punk charmers, including singles Sway Sway Baby!, Shimmy A Go Go and Princess, going on become certified gold. And in 2023 alongside a massive regional headline run, Short Stack released the Stack Is The New Black on vinyl for the first time ever
Following a break-up in 2012, a jubilant Short Stack reunion in 2020 ultimately led to the band's 2022 studio album Maybe There’s No Heaven. Amalgamating the trio's colourful career with a renewed creative lease on life, Short Stack truly soared to sensational heights with their latest material, blending hooky bangers, sharp execution and searing authenticity into an 11 track masterpiece - and all entirely on their own terms.
Since the release of Maybe There's No Heaven, Short Stack have also unleashed two standalone singles, Shotgun Wedding and IDGAF, and closed out 2023 with show-stopping performances at Good Things Festival, alongside Fall Out Boy, Limp Bizkit, Devo, I Prevail and many more.
Come and join Short Stack in 2025 taking things back to where it all began with their monumental milestone album Stack Is The New Black.
