It’s been a huge year for surf rockers Hockey Dad. Not only have they released their fourth album Rebuild Repeat (which peaked at #15 on the ARIA Album Chart), but the lads have been touring the globe relentlessly. After performing to packed crowds in Australia across June and July, the band are currently playing shows in America.
2024 also marks the 10th anniversary of Hockey Dad’s debut EP Dreamin’, and to celebrate, the duo of vocalist and guitarist Zach Stephenson and drummer Billy Fleming are performing four special shows this December.
Hockey Dad have locked in dates at intimate venues across the country and will perform songs from Dreamin’, along with fan favourites and deep cuts from their extensive four-album catalogue.
The 10 Years of Dreamin’ tour begins in Naarm/Melbourne at Northcote Social Club on Friday, December 13 and continues with dates at Jive in Tarndanya/Adelaide on Saturday, December 14 and The Outpost in Meanjin/Brisbane on Thursday, December 19, before Hockey Dad wrap things up at The Lansdowne in Eora/Sydney on Friday, December 20.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now via Hockey Dad’s website.

Ten years on from the releaser of Dreamin’, Hockey Dad have firmly entrenched themselves in Australia’s music scene. Longtime buddies Stephenson and Fleming started Hockey Dad – which takes its name from a fictional video game seen in an episode of The Simpsons – in 2013 and quickly released Dreamin’ just a year later.
The EP was critically acclaimed by Aussie music press and kick-started Hockey Dad’s musical odyssey. They have gone on to release four long players, Boronia (2016), Blend Inn (2018), Brain Candy (2020) and Rebuild Repeat (2024), and the live album Live at the Drive In, becoming a regular on the bill of Australia’s biggest musical festivals.
The 10 Years of Dreamin’ tour is a fantastic way to celebrate the band’s journey in some of Australia’s best venues.
Catch Hockey Dad at Jive on Saturday, December 14. Tickets on sale now via Moshtix.
