After a successfully hot return to UK shores in late 2024, the rambunctious Aussie scamps THE LAZYS are coming back to Europe!
It's a testament to their love of rock n' roll and sheer bloody-minded determination that the band stubbornly refuse to give up. The newly announced tour dates in August and September 2025 include headline shows and a number of festivals, with select support from Junkyard Drive.
On the new tour announcement, the band share their excitement:
"We’ve only just recovered from last year’s hangover, and we’re flying back to get rowdy again! From Berlin to Brienz, Prague to Cardiff, Leeds to Leipzig, we’re hitting your town like a rock ‘n’ roll steam train with no brakes! Our partners in crime Junkyard Drive are back to rip your faces off with their manic style of ferocious rock and we couldn’t be more bloody excited to share the stage with them! Expect noise. Expect chaos. Expect the absolute unexpected. If you’ve never screamed your lungs out at a show and woken up in a new city with a guitar pick in your beer…now’s your chance."
A wise man once said it's a long way to the top if you want to rock 'n' roll. If you're THE LAZYS, it's more like a long way across two continents and the world's largest ocean. It was on Canadian soil these Australian rockers made waves by blasting the roof off Canadian Music Week in 2014 with 3 shows in 24 hours, capturing the attention of prominent booking agent Ralph James, who signed them on the spot, as well as Billy Talent guitarist Ian D'Sa, who then collaborated on singles 'Shake It Like You Mean It' and 'Black Rebel' both of which reached the Top 10 at Active Rock Radio.
After years of hard work and hundreds of shows, the band hit the studio and in 2018 emerged with album Tropical Hazards, a hellraising rock 'n' roll riot produced by Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent) and Eric Ratz (Big Wreck, Danko Jones, Monster Truck). Ten belters that are unabashedly outrageous, packed with classic songs about wild nights, pretty girls, heartbreak, and resilience but are never too cliché. The record spawned the singles 'Little Miss Crazy', 'Nothing But Trouble', and 'Half Mast Blues', and sent them criss-crossing Canada and Europe in a balls-out ascent to become one of the most talked about live acts wherever they took the stage. Selling out shows and performing at major festivals including Wacken, Ramblin' Man, Bloodstock, and Summer Breeze, they amassed an army of fans in every country they set foot in.
It's been a tumultuous few years for the band who were really just getting things going, when the pandemic hit and steamrollered all their plans. Clawing their way back now, their latest track only serves to emphasise THE LAZYS' raw power and bloody-minded determination. THE LAZYS are back and the new era of rock 'n' roll has begun... hold on tight!
