THE DATSUNSNew Zealand Riff Lords Announce Australian Tour - March 2026
One of New Zealand’s fiercest rock exports, The Datsuns, will bring their all thrills and no frills brand of sleazy garage rock to their Australian fans next March.
The Datsuns blazed into global consciousness with their 2002 self-titled debut, a record that topped the NZ charts and hurled them onto stages with Metallica, The White Stripes, and Queens of the Stone Age. Over the past two decades, they’ve released seven albums, worked with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, and remain an absolutely potent live act.
Their Aussie run promises to be filled with savage hooks, honed to perfection, delivering Stoogeoid evil, powerpop crunch and the classic proto rawk assault & battery they are world renowned for.
Scandinavian drummer Adam Lindmark will drive the beast forward locking in with
Dolf de Borst on bass. While upfront lead string wrangler and vocalist, Christian Livingstone, and rhythmic meister Phil Somervell bring a stack of raw, unfiltered and oh so good riffage.
Expect the full sweep of The Datsuns’ catalogue, from the anthems that scorched their early path to the first sparks of their eighth studio album, set to arrive in 2026.
Leading the charge for their 2026 record, the single ‘Ugly Leather’ tears in with jagged riffs, and unrelenting fire – old energy, new fuel, same unstoppable inferno.
Prepare yourselves: the DATSUNS are back, and the rock will rise again.
