WAAX Annoucnes 'The Femme Values' 2027 Australian Tour

ARIA-nominated rockers WAAX  – the project of Marie "Maz" DeVita – have announced The Femme Values Tour, a travelling mini-festival curated by DeVita with a focus on spotlighting exciting emerging artists.

A reframing of the hit '90s Family Values Tour that was curated by nu metal kings Korn, DeVita's lineup will focus on girl power and diversity, with the powerful vocalist handpicking each artist on the bill and WAAX closing out each night of the festival.

DeVita says of The Femme Values Tour, "It's more important than ever to nurture emerging Australian talent, as many festivals and opportunities are becoming harder to come by. I'm so proud of Australian music and can’t wait to share the stage with some of the country’s most exciting artists!"

The Femme Values Tour begins on Saturday 27 February at Crowbar on Gadigal Country in Warrane/Sydney, followed by The Night Cat on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country in Naarm/Melbourne on Friday 5 March. The mini-festival then heads to Kaurna Yerta in Tarndanya/Adeliade on Saturday 6 March at Lion Arts Factory, before wrapping up on Saturday 13 March at Crowbar on Turrbal & Jagera Country in Magandjin/Brisbane.

The lineup for each city will be announced every Monday starting next week via WAAX's socials, with Warrane/Sydney revealed on Monday 16 November, Naarm/Melbourne on Monday 23 November, Tarndanya/Adelaide on Monday 30 November and Magandjin/Brisbane on Monday 7 December.

Early bird tickets are available now for fans signed up to WAAX's mailing list, while general tickets go on sale at 10am AEDT on Thursday 12 November at waaxband.com.

Co-founded by drummer Tom Bloomfield and vocalist Marie "Maz" DeVita in 2012, WAAX is now the solo project of DeVita.

Over the past 14 years, WAAX have released two EPs and three full-length albums, including this year's Angel's Mess, which drew from three years' worth of writing and laid bare everything DeVita had been through over that time.

The making of the album saw DeVita reunite with longtime production partner Miro Mackie (St. Vincent, Wallows, The NBHD) and co-write several songs with Gab Strum (Mallrat, Gretta Ray, Blusher) in an LA studio.

While there were times it seemed like WAAX might be over, DeVita is adamant that she's "not done yet".

"I feel in my heart that I owe it to myself and the community I have built to continue and, more so, to show a formidable woman can be solely at the helm."

WAAX's The Femme Values Tour hits Tarndanya/Adelaide's Lion Arts Factory on Saturday 6 March. Ticketing information is available at waaxband.com.
