Hailing from Osaka Japan, HEY SMITH have been growing their following since 2006 thanks to their infectious sounds and even more upbeat live shows. Dedicated to their live gigs, the band play over 150 shows per year and have launched their own outdoor festival OSAKA HAZIKETEMAZARE FESTIVAL.

Joining HEY SMITH on the road is equally as infectious act, California punk/ska legends Voodoo Glow Skulls. Voodoo Glow Skulls have been getting crowds jumping from their backyard shows way back in 1988 until now. Their colourful career is almost as vibrant as their sound with their tracks ‘Shoot The Moon’ and ‘El Coo Cooi’ leading the charge.

Australia’s own The Resignators will also jump on board the tour. The Resignators’ journey is one of resilience, creativity, and a commitment to their musical vision, onboarding a dedicated fan base and crafting a strong discography. The Resignators remain an essential part of Australia’s diverse musical landscape. As they continue to evolve and inspire, their music serves as a testament to the enduring power of ska-punk fusion.

Tickets to the shows are on sale now. For all things HEY SMITH head here.
