Ska punk legends Less Than Jake make their Australian and New Zealand return this October and November on their Circus Down Under Tour.
Longtime visitors to our shores, the Floridian five-piece are renowned for their upbeat punk songs, hilarious lyrics and good time anthems.
In their own words, Australia remains “one of our favourite places in the world”, and that feeling has remained totally mutual.
Joining Less Than Jake on tour are playful Cali rockers The Aquabats! and Detroit punk act The Suicide Machines.
Less Than Jake’s Circus Down Under Tour begins at Fremantle’s Metropolis on Friday 30 October and continues with dates at Adelaide’s Hindley Street Music Hall on Saturday 31 October, Melbourne’s Forum Theatre on Monday 2 November, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Thursday 5 November and Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel on Friday 6 November, finishing up in New Zealand at Auckland’s The Studio on Saturday 7 November.

Stalwarts of the American punk and ska scene, Less Than Jake have been out there getting it done for over three decades.
In that time, they’ve released nine albums, including 1998’s Hello Rockview, considered one of the best punk albums of the ‘90s, toured globally and cemented themselves as one of punk’s all-time great acts.
