Content Source: Oztix Dune Rats - OLD MATES Tour 2026 Brisbane punk lifers Dune Rats return to their roots with the OLD MATES Tour - a run of intimate underplay shows through the pubs and coastal rooms where it all began. The tour coincides with the release of OLD MATES, a new album collecting tracks from the bands first three EPs alongside brand new single SHARKS and a re-recorded fan favourite FUCK IT!. Its a full-circle release that captures the raw, reckless spirit that launched Dune Rats, while charging forward with the same no-rules energy theyre known for. SHARKS leads the charge - a defiant, high-energy anthem about backing yourself, swimming against the current, and trusting your gut even when it feels insane. Paired with the newly re-recorded FUCK IT!, the release reconnects with the bands early punk-garage sound while reminding fans why Dune Rats live shows remain loud, chaotic and community-driven. Fresh off supporting YUNGBLUD on his Australian tour, the OLD MATES Tour strips things back - sweaty rooms, stacked singalongs, and maximum volume. Expect old favourites, new chaos, and the kind of nights that made Dune Rats what they are.________________________________________Tour DatesFri 20 March Crowbar, BrisbaneSat 21 March Oxford Art Factory, SydneyFri 27 March Torquay Hotel, TorquaySat 28 March The Corner, MelbourneFri 3 April Club Sapphire, MerimbulaSat 4 April Sussex Inlet Tavern
