Three-time GRAMMY® nominee YUNGBLUD is psyched to announce that Brisbane punks Dune Rats will join him as special guests on his IDOLS world tour in Australia.
Following the release of One More Time—his collaborative EP with Aerosmith, which debuted at No. 1 on four Billboard album charts and No. 1 in the UK, and features a reimagining of ‘Wild Women’ with country star Lainey Wilson—YUNGBLUD will head to Australia in 2026 for his biggest run of shows to date. With Perth and Brisbane dates already sold out, an additional Brisbane show has been added, and Sydney has been upgraded to Qudos Bank Arena to meet overwhelming demand. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/yungblud.
Joining him for all dates is local band Dune Rats. Dune Rats have long embodied the do-it-yourself ethos of punk rock and their self-titled debut album in 2014 introduced the world to their riotous charm. But it was their 2017 album The Kids Will Know It’s Bullshit that exploded them onto the national stage — debuting at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, main-stage billing at festivals like Splendour in the Grass, Laneway, and Groovin’ The Moo, and cementing their reputation as one of Australia’s leading punk rock bands.
Building on that momentum, Dune Rats continued to expand their reach with the ARIA-nominated Real Rare Whale in 2022 and extensive international touring across North America, Europe, South Africa, and the UK. While back home their Triple J Like A Version cover of The Angels’ ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’ went viral. In 2024, the band returned with If It Sucks, Turn It Up, a sharper and hookier evolution of their signature sound, supported by a sold-out national co-headline tour with U.S. punk icons FIDLAR.
