Following a successful return to Australia in 2023, during which they blew away everyone in attendance at the last ever Boogie Festival, Tokyo's incredible Guitar Wolf will return again in March 2025.

Since forming in 1987 and releasing their first album on Memphis’s legendary Goner Records in 1993 (following their first appearance at Gonerfest), the group, which is fronted by the heroic Seiji and always clothed head to toe in black leather, have taken their wild and dangerous sound to the world, working with labels like Matador and Third Man in the process. They have released 12 albums and are signed to a major label at home in Japan.
Guitar Wolf are movie stars too, having starred in the low budget sci-fi horror movie Wild Zero in 1999, a sequel to which they announced last year.
“I love jet plane. I love noisy music, too. So…there were records…many records…every record have no big sounds. So…easy to listen. I hate that! So! I add jet sounds. Bwaaaahng! Explosion!” – Seiji
Set to appear at the 10th occurrence of Australia’s premier celebration of garage rock and punk, Jerkfest in Geelong as well as the Meadow Music Festival in Bambra (in the Surf Coast Shire), Guitar Wolf are also playing in Melbourne, Frankston, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Bunbury and Fremantle.
Lucky Melbourne fans will also get a screening of Wild Zero at the Thornbury Picture House, with Seiji and his band mates in attendance.
