Soul Asylum + Ugly Kid Joe
This event is strictly 18+
In 2027, two rock titans will join forces for a monumental Australian co-headline tour. Colliding the sonic architects behind the GRAMMY Award-winning rock ballad Runaway Train, SOUL ASYLUM, together with record-breaking California collective UGLY KID JOE, next March not only marks the first joint run between these two prominent alternative trailblazers; it also will mark the first time SOUL ASYLUM has performed on our shores since the mid 1990s.
SOUL ASYLUM have previously shared stages with a horde of heavy hitters a the rock'n'roll realms, including Guns N' Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, The Cure, Oasis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead and many more. And while it may have been decades since the band were last in Australia, more recent reviews of SOUL ASYLUM's live show centre around the group's evergreen energy that can go from zero to 100 in the blink of an eye.
Primed to release their, as yet unannounced, follow up to Rad Wings of Destiny, UGLY KID JOE's guitarist and producer Dave Fortman confirmed earlier this year that the new material is "back to metal...some are straight badass old metal". And if their history is anything to go by, we're in for some hard-hitting delights from UGLY KID JOE in the not too distant future, both musically and yet again in a live setting for Aussie fans next year.
Would You Like To Be There when this Runaway Train of rock and roll rapture rolls through Australia next March? Don't miss your chance to catch two of the greats side by side in 2027 when SOUL ASYLUM and UGLY KID JOE bring their high-octane sets across the country next year.
