Hot Water Music Australian Tour 2025

Legendary American punks, Hot Water Music are stoked to announce their long-awaited Australian tour, landing in February 2025. Joining them for the punk rock tour of the summer will be The Flatliners from Canada. 

It has been an absolute age since Hot Water Music have played a headline show Down Under (since 2010, in fact), so it’s only fitting that the revered band are returning to celebrate their 30th anniversary with us.

Three decades and 10 albums in, Hot Water Music stands firmly as an enduring pillar of punk rock. Since ‘94, their pioneering sound has taken them from sweaty clubs in their hometown of Gainesville, Florida, to massive venues worldwide countless times over. Their big-hearted anthems, trusty chords and trademark scruffy vocals have soundtracked the lives of many, whilst continuing to have an undeniable influence on punk and hardcore at large. 

Supporting them will be Canadian punk rockers The Flatliners. Fronted by Hot Water Music guitarist/vocalist Chris Cresswell, The Flatliners' career is a testament to perseverance and dedication. For over two decades, the band has hammered out the kilometres, touring non-stop with a veritable who's who of the genre while dropping a swag of acclaimed records along the way.

It’s not often either of these bands are in our backyard, so round up your mates and snap up tickets quickly before they sell out.
