This September, two rock icons will join forces, with American chart-toppers Shinedown and British alternative legends Bush teaming up for a massive co-headline tour. The tour will mark Shinedown's first performances down under in 16 years, as well as their first ever New Zealand performance.
Commencing on Thursday 17 September in Auckland, this monumental rock'n'roll extravaganza will head through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, before closing out proceedings in Perth on Tuesday 29 September.
Ahead of the tour, Tiana Speter spent a moment with frontmen Gavin Rossdale (Bush) and Brent Smith (Shinedown) for the Destroy All Lines interview series A Peek Behind The Lines, chatting everything from how the two friends came together to conjure this down under adventure, through to setlist selection, fanbases and longevity, a peek into their riders and much, much more.
For rock'n'roll fans this will be a tour for the ages, don't let the days go by this September and avoid the sound of madness by securing your tickets ASAP for this massive Australian and New Zealand co-headline tour in 2026. And in the meantime, check out the chat with Gavin, Brent and Tiana below!
