It’s been a big week for Aussie icons, with Hoodoo Gurus the latest outfit to announce an Australian tour.
Hoodoo Gurus are celebrating the 45th anniversary of the band’s formation with the Hoodoo Gurus Rewind Tour – All Killer, No Filler this November and December.
Performing all their biggest singles, the Gurus will be joined on the road by Sydney pop punk band Ratcat, who are celebrating 40 years together, along with Perth garage rockers The Stems.
“We’ve often been described as a ‘singles band’, so for this Rewind Tour we’re gonna embrace that notion by only playing songs that were released as singles,” says the Gurus Dave Faulkner. “No b-sides, no album tracks, we’ll just be concentrating on the hits - and quite a few misses as well! It’s funny, but some of our biggest flops went on to become some of our most beloved songs. ‘Axegrinder’ horrified radio programmers back in the day - ‘We can’t play that!’ seemed to be their collective response - but within 12 months ‘Axegrinder’ had become a fan-favourite, which it remains to this day. There are a whole lot of other near-misses that fall into that category. Along with all our bona fide hits, we’re hoping to play every one of our 42 singles at least once somewhere during this tour.”
This epic all-Aussie line-up kicks off in Adelaide at Hindley Street Music Hall on Saturday 28 November, then heads to the Ice Cream Factory in Perth on Tuesday 1 December, Tumbalong Park in Sydney on Saturday 5 December, Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne on Sunday 6 December, before winding up at Brisbane’s The Fortitude Music Hall on Friday 11 December.

Hoodoo Gurus have been one of the country’s most influential bands across four decades, inspiring everyone from You Am I and Spiderbait to Violent Soho.
Founded in Sydney in 1981 by members of seminal ‘70s Australian punk bands The Victims and Fun Things, the Gurus combined the frenetic energy of punk with pub rock and ‘80s pop sounds to craft their own refreshing sound.
Their career includes 10 ARIA Top 20 Albums, nine Top 40 singles, multiple platinum certifications and two ARIA Awards, making them one of Australia’s great rock bands.
