28 Days Announce 30th Anniversary Australian Tour

The punk meets rap rockers are celebrating three decades together with a national tour this June.

28 Days are turning 30 this year, and to celebrate, the respected punk rock rap outfit are planning on ripping it up when they hit the road this June for a run of anniversary shows.

The Frankston collective will perform tracks from their four studio albums, including their 2000 #1 ARIA Album Upstyledown, which includes the hit singles ‘Rip It Up’, ‘Say What?’ and ‘Sucker’.

The five-piece’s four-date tour begins in Sydney at Crowbar on Friday 5 June and continues with shows at Brisbane’s Crowbar on Saturday 6 June, Melbourne’s Prince Bandroom on Friday 26 June and Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Saturday 27 June.

Pre-sale kicks off at 9am AEDT Monday 30 March here.

28 Days was formed in 1997 by OG members Jay Dunne (vocals), Simon Hepburn (guitar) and Damian Gardiner (bass).

While their self-titled debut album didn’t make waves commercially, critics praised the release, with tracks from follow-up EP Kid Indestructible making it on to triple j.

Things changed in 2000 with the release of their sophomore record album, Upstyledown. Not only did it debut at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, but the album spawned their biggest hit, ‘Rip It Up’, which made it all the way to #6 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

28 Days went on to release two more studio albums before going on hiatus in 2007. Despite the lack of new material, the band have continued to perform live sporadically over the past decade, with their upcoming tour a fantastic way to pay tribute to the 28 Days’ three-decade career.
