Two of Australia's biggest punk outfits are set to tour the UK this summer.
Frenzal Rhomb, dubbed the 'punkest band in the world', and with a tour diary encompassing the likes of Reel Big Fish, NOFX, The Offspring and Rocket From the Crypt, are hitting our shores this April in support of ska-legends Less Than Jake. Despite already playing a three night stand at the Astoria, the Rhomb have added a very special, one-off, headlining show at London's Underworld:
07 April - Nottingham Rock City (w/LTJ)
08 April - Norwich UEA (w/LTJ)
09 April - Manchester Academy (w/LTJ)
10 April - Newcastle University (w/LTJ)
11 April - Glasgow Barrowlands (w/LTJ)
12 April - Birmingham Academy (w/LTJ)
17 April - London Astoria (w/LTJ)
18 April - London Astoria (w/LTJ)
19 April - London Astoria (w/LTJ)
20 April - London Underworld
28 Days, meanwhile, have been making a name for themselves in the UK recently following a string of successful gigs in support of Goldfinger. The skate punk / hip-hop hybrids are in the process of lining up their debut headlining UK tour, with the following dates confirmed so far:
01 May - Bristol Fleece & Firkin
04 May - Sheffield Leadmill
07 May - Manchester Roadhouse
08 May - London Garage
