The Hellacopters Announce ‘Respect The Rock’ Australian Tour 2027

The Swedish garage rockers will be joined on tour by Norwegian heavy outfit Gluecifer.

Garge rockers The Hellacopters make their long-awaited Australian return in 2027 alongside fellow Nordic rockers Gluecifer.

One of Sweden’s most revered rock outfits, The Hellacopters are touring their 2025 record Overdriver, while Gluecifer are supporting this year’s Same Drug New High.

The Respect The Rock tour takes in Brisbane’s The Triffid on Wednesday 17 March, Sydney’s Manning Bar on Thursday 18 March, Melbourne’s Croxton on Friday 19 March and Adelaide’s Ed Castle on Saturday 20 March.

Fans keen on securing tickets early (which are also cheaper) can do so this Thursday 16 July at 11am AEST via hardlinemedia.net. General on-sale kicks off Tuesday 21 July at 11am AEST.

Emerging in 1996 with their Grammy Award-winning debut album, Supershitty To The Max, The Hellacopters are regarded as Swedish rock royalty alongside their good mates The Hives.

Formed in 1994 by Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Andreas “Dregen” Svensson (guitar), Kenny Kakansson (bass) and Robert Eriksson (drums), the band had a slew of hit albums and singles before going their separate ways in 2007.

Thankfully for fans, The Hellacopters reformed in 2016 and have been kicking ass ever since, with their Aussie return alongside Gluecifer shaping up as one of the tours of 2027.

Catch The Hellacopters with support from Gluecifer at Ed Castle on Saturday 20 March. Ticketing information is available via hardlinemedia.net.
