After causing chaos with their national tour last August, Sydney’s hardcore phenoms SPEED are set to embark on their biggest Australian tour yet.
The ARIA Award-nominated quintet will perform a whopping 16 shows in capital cities and regional areas across January and February 2025.
Kicking off in Maroochydore at Solbar on Friday, January 3, SPEED takes the show on the road, hitting Gold Coast’s Vinnie’s Dive Bar (Saturday, January 4), Brisbane’s The Brightside (Sunday, January 5), Newcastle’s Hamilton Station Hotel (Tuesday, January 7), Wollongong’s Dicey Riley’s (Thursday, January 9), Gosford’s Drifter’s Wharf (Friday, January 10), Penrith’s Tattersalls Hotel (Saturday, January 11) and Canberra’s UC Hub (Sunday, January 12).
SPEED then heads to Victoria for shows at Frankston’s Singing Bird Studios (Tuesday, January 14), Footscray’s Phoneix Youth Centre (Wednesday, January 15), St. Kilda’s Hotel Esplanade (Thursday, January 16) and Ballarat’s Volta (Friday, January 17), before performing four final gigs at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory (Sunday, January 19), Hobart’s Altar (Friday, January 7), Northbridge’s Lynott’s Lounge (Saturday, February 8) and Leederville’s HQ on Sunday, February 9.
Tickets for all 16 shows go on sale Thursday, November 14 at 8:30am via SPEED’s linktr.
Before hitting the road next year, SPEED have lined up two special homecoming gigs in Sydney to see out the year. The lad’s final shows of 2024, dubbed A Sydney Hardcore Xmas, take place at Manning Bar on Saturday, December 21 and Mary’s Underground on Sunday, December 22.
Unsurprisingly, both shows are sold out, but the good news is that $10,000 from ticket sales is going to First Nations Response, a not-for-profit Aboriginal Women-led organisation that provides support and food relief to the Inner-West and Inner-City Sydney mobs.
Catch SPEED at Lion Arts Factory on Sunday, January 19. For full ticketing details visit gangcalledspeedaus.
