The Smith Street Band & DZ Deathrays

For nearly 20 years, The Smith Street Band & DZ Deathrays have been powerhouses of the Australian music scene. Collectively they’ve had 15 entries in the ARIA top 50 Album Charts, 9 entries in the Triple j Hottest 100, appeared on any festival you can name and played countless headline shows in endless cities around the country.

Since the bands formed in 2008 & 2009, they have constantly toured the world and regularly released new music, they have seven studio albums each with the latest for both being in 2026, The Smith Street Band with ‘Once I Was Wild’ & DZ Deathrays with ‘Easing Out Of Control’.

Despite all the similarities between the bands, they have until now never toured together, and only appeared on a handful of festivals together. So with great excitement we bring you The Great Australian Rock’N’Roll Show: The Smith Street Band & DZ Deathrays - 20 shows across the country, playing capital cities and regional areas.

Support to be announced.
