LESS THAN JAKE
Celebrate 25 Years Of Punk Rock With October Australian Tour
with special guests BODYJAR
and Foxtrot
WEDNESDAY JUNE 28, 2017 - The Gainesville punks responsible for fashioning a generation’s suburban discontent, social isolation and ‘plastic cup politics’ into irresistibly tasty punk ska hooks are returning to Australia in 2017.
25 years and more than 300 releases since their original formation in small town Florida, the inimitable LESS THAN JAKE return to a loyal local audience to play five headlining dates this October. This most excellent news follows the release of their new EP, Sound The Alarm, in February.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 10am this Friday, June 30.
My Live Nation members may secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning at 9am tomorrow, June 29.

The punk rock veterans were last on our shores with their US contemporaries Reel Big Fish and Aus. locals The Bennies in 2015, drawing massive crowds to a quick succession of East Coast dates.
“We never stopped touring or trying to be an active band”, the band suggest of their success that has comfortably spanned two and a half decades. Less Than Jake have been self managed for more than five years and show no signs of easing their break neck touring pace that sees them routinely smash out in excess of 150 dates a year.
"We'll be celebrating our 25th anniversary in Australia, and while Australian tours are always ragers, we will be bringing our full stage of antics along for the first time. Add a massive catalog of material to choose from and it's almost an instant good time. We're coming to your shores to party, live recklessly, have a few pies, nurse a few hangovers, and make our 25th anniversary tour one to remember (or not remember)."- Vinnie Fiorello, Less Than Jake
Less Than Jake will be joined by legendary Australian quartet, Bodyjar, reformed for their first shows since seminal album How It Works was revived for a huge sold out tour in 2015. One of the biggest names in Australian punk rock, the ‘Jar will kick out jams from their vast catalogue of memorable pop-infused gems. Melbourne’s Foxtrot will round out this epic bill, bringing their punk rock A-game as they get the party started in all cities.
A great show by these guys, as always. Venue was decent with good sound and friendly, well-organized, helpful staff.
Never have I seen a band that enjoys what they do . I've seen them a few times and they're never off their game. Chris makes an effort to make regional stage banter but it's not forced or phoney. Doing this since92 always worth it!!
A great line-up of openers and a fantastic show from Less Than Jake! Got to see one of my favourite bands live and was stoked to see that they're just as awesome in person (actually, more so!). I've been to this venue twice this month, and the space is great, and so far, all the people (employees and attendees) have been awesome! Definitely will be coming back to History for more shows and DEFINITELY will be seeing Less Than Jake again any time they're around. JUST A GREAT SHOW!!
Less than Jake was amazing. Strung outs sound was a little muffled at first, not sure if that is the fault of the venue? Otherwise, fantastic show. Bring strung out back as a headliner ASAP
LTJ Is still in my books one of my top all time favorite bands.. great show hats off .. keep it up boys Roger.. keep playing a mean bass
What a killer show! Less Than Jake were awesome! Highly recommend seeing them live. Planet Smashers, Strung Out, and Raging Nathans were also great.
Less than Jake put on an incredible show! They sounded fantastic and were entertaining and engaging with the crowd. Great show! I waited 20 years for this show and it was worth the wait!
Less than Jake was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, we lined up for over an hour and half just to get into the venue. We missed the opening band, and only caught the last two songs from Strung Out -- which I was really looking forward to. Not sure what the delay was, but a lot of people were quite upset. That being said, the venue is absolutely beautiful, and Less Than Jake put on an incredible show that I'll never forget.
This brought me back to the early 2000’s. We danced and sang every word. The band was amazing and really engaged with the crowd. Was an awesome time
