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.

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.
