About this event

Dune Rats - OLD MATES Tour 2026 Brisbane punk lifers Dune Rats return to their roots with the OLD MATES Tour - a run of intimate underplay shows through the pubs and coastal rooms where it all began. The tour coincides with the release of OLD MATES, a new album collecting tracks from the band’s first three EPs alongside brand new single SHARKS and a re-recorded fan favourite FUCK IT!. It’s a full-circle release that captures the raw, reckless spirit that launched Dune Rats, while charging forward with the same no-rules energy they’re known for. SHARKS leads the charge - a defiant, high-energy anthem about backing yourself, swimming against the current, and trusting your gut even when it feels insane. Paired with the newly re-recorded FUCK IT!, the release reconnects with the band’s early punk-garage sound while reminding fans why Dune Rats’ live shows remain loud, chaotic and community-driven. Fresh off supporting YUNGBLUD on his Australian tour, the OLD MATE
