Newcastle punk trio Smacked Youth have teamed up with Fireball Whisky for a run of shows across the country this November and December.

Following an extensive tour across Canada that included headline concerts and festival appearances, the lads have locked in six shows, taking to social media to announce the Aus Ball of Fire Tour.

"Six cities. Six massive nights. A stack of killer local bands. And one hell of a FIREBALL PARTY," Smacked Youth posted.

The ripping three-piece won't be going it alone, joined by a slew of awesome support acts in each city. There will also be a custom bar menu and giveaways throughout the night.

Smacked Youth kicks things off in Brisbane at Suzie Wong's on Friday 27 November with support from Boys At The Back and Pornstar Supercar. The next night the band takes to the stage at The Last Chance in Melbourne on Saturday 28 November alongside The Refuge and Black Wattle Witches.

The three-piece then plays a hometown show in Newcastle at The Den on Friday 4 December with Bardvarkk and Samuel Thomas & The Steel City, followed by a gig at Sydney's Chuck Trailer's CBD on Saturday 5 December alongside Electrik and Jericho.

The final two shows take place at Adelaide's The Grace Emily on Friday 11 December with support from The Sleepers and Ledfly and at Perth's Llynott's Lounge on Saturday 12 December with St. Tragedy and Uranium Dog.

Tickets for all shows are on sale here.
