High demand for the outrageous wildcard Swedish punks has lead to a second Melbourne show being added to the highly-anticipated tour.

With fans immediately exhausting presale tickets earlier this week, Frontier Touring and Penny Drop have just announced a second and final Melbourne show for raucous Swedish punkers Viagra Boys as they bring their highly anticipated The Australia Shrimp Grand Prix tour to Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane this November.

The new show will see the boys hang out for an extra night, playing Forum Melbourne on Sunday 3 November.

Viagra Boys have unleashed three critically acclaimed albums to date: Street Worms (2018), Welfare Jazz (2021), and Cave World (2022).

Their electrifying mix of no-holds-barred attitude, electronically laced riffs, dark sax, and dynamic sound bursts forth in singles like SportsTroglodyteAin’t No Thief and Punk Rock Loser. Another highlight is their audacious cover of John Prine’s In Spite Of Ourselves, featuring Amy Taylor (Amyl and the Sniffers).

Live on stage, Viagra Boys have garnered significant success and acclaim, performing sold-out shows worldwide, including prestigious festival sets at Coachella, Glastonbury, Lowlands, Outside Lands, Reading & Leeds, Meredith, and more.

2023 saw them tour the US with Queens of The Stone Age. The band’s impact extends to the Swedish music scene, where they’ve won awards such as Album of the Year and Best Live Act at the Swedish Grammis & P3 Guld Awards, highlighting their widespread appeal and influence.

Australia are bound for extremely excellent performances. With support acts yet to be announced, these shows are going to be bigger than Ben Hur.
