Adelaide, get ready — this is the one you circle on the calendar, rally your mates for, and talk about long after the amps cool down.Two of Australia’s most explosive tribute acts are teaming up for a dual-headline blowout, hosted by the legendary FUNKY MONKS, alongside BULLS ON PARADE, the country’s fiercest Rage Against the Machine tribute, plus rising local favourites The Sleepers.
🎸 FUNKY MONKS — Australia’s Red Hot Chili Peppers Show
The Funky Monks aren’t just a tribute — they’re an institution. As Australia’s longest-running and most-touring RHCP show, they’ve been bringing the fire since 1992. Their very first gig? A packed Adelaide room right after the Chili Peppers’ “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” tour stop — complete with surprise on-stage jams from Chad Smith and Arik Marshall themselves.
Chad Smith said it best: “These guys rock like pigs!”
Three decades on, the Monks continue to deliver the high-energy, sweat-dripping, crowd-lifting RHCP experience fans crave — from the early funk-punk chaos to the modern radio anthems. They’re not impersonators; they’re die-hard fans paying passionate tribute to the LA icons, and it shows in every note, groove, and stage-shaking moment.
⚡ BULLS ON PARADE — Australian Rage Against the Machine Tribute
If you want it loud, raw, and revolutionary, Bulls on Parade are ready to detonate. Expect a full-throttle set stacked with the RATM essentials — the riffs you know, the chants you scream, and the energy that hits you right in the chest.
A past attendee summed it up perfectly: “Feel the force of Australia’s ultimate Rage Against the Machine tribute show!”
This is fist-in-the-air, shout-every-word catharsis at its finest.
🌙 THE SLEEPERS — Adelaide’s Post-Punk / Indie Rock Breakouts
Back by crowd demand, The Sleepers return after winning over the room last time they shared the stage with Funky Monks. This Adelaide four-piece blends post-punk grit with indie-rock emotion, channelling influences like Fontaines D.C. and Hole into a sound that swings from heavy angst to melodic release.
They’re one of the city’s most exciting emerging acts — and the perfect way to kick off a night built on passion, power, and pure live energy.
