Californian punk greats Lagwagon are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their iconic album Hoss with a run of shows across Australia and New Zealand in early 2026.

Lagwagon’s current lineup, comprising OG members Joey Cape (vocals) and Chris Flippin (guitar) alongside Dave Raun (drums), Chris Rest (guitar) and Joe Raposo (bass), have locked in 11 shows where they will perform Hoss in full alongside a bunch of fan favourites from their extensive catalogue.

Released in 1995, Hoss was the album that launched Lagwagon into the punk stratosphere, with the record spawning hit singles ‘Violins’ and ‘Razor Burns’.

Lagwagon’s 2026 Australian and New Zealand tour includes both headline and festival shows, with the band getting things underway at the Perth leg of Froth & Fury Fest on Saturday 24 January. They then play shows in Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong before stopping in Adelaide for Froth & Fury Fest. The rest of the tour includes dates in Barwon Heads, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, with the tour wrapping up in New Zealand with gigs in Auckland and Wellington.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via sbmpresents.com.

Lagwagon have been ripping it up across the globe with their hard-hitting punk rock for more than 35 years.

In that time, the Cali punks have released nine studio albums, with their latest, Railer, released in 2019.

They have also shared several EPs and compilations and gained a reputation for their frenetic live shows, which often descend into madness.

The chance to see them perform Hoss live is one punk fans won’t want to miss, so grab your tickets now before they sell out.
