Redd Kross and The Hard-Ons will storm Newcastle this March, delivering a high-voltage blast of power-pop, punk and pure rock’n’roll at the Hamilton Station Hotel.
The iconic pairing unites LA cult heroes Redd Kross, currently celebrating 45 years of kaleidoscopic hooks and melodic mischief, with Aussie punk titans The Hard-Ons, fronted by the one-and-only Tim Rogers.
With both bands bringing fresh releases and renewed fire, their 2026 tour promises a night of fuzzed-out riffs, rapid-fire energy and the kind of chaotic fun that shaped their pioneering reputations.
This run marks yet another chapter in a decades-long bond between the two groups, one that stretches back to their early label-mate days in the ’80s and their shared obsession with smashing punk boundaries wide open.
Both bands built their legacies on high-octane performance, a healthy disregard for the genre rulebook and a love of weaving classic pop melodies into their explosive sound.
Redd Kross arrive off the back of a milestone year, celebrating their 45th anniversary with a double LP, a full-length documentary and an internationally released memoir.
Meanwhile, The Hard-Ons continue their own victory lap after four decades of breaking rules, breaking records and inspiring generations of Australian alternative artists, now supercharged with Rogers out front.
The tour’s early momentum is already explosive. Melbourne’s first show sold out in 48 hours, prompting a second date, so Newcastle fans can expect a night that hits just as hard. With both bands known for blistering sets, outrageous energy and a catalogue of cult-classic anthems, this pairing is set to make the Hammo shake.
Redd Kross and The Hard-Ons play Hamilton Station Hotel on Sunday, 8 March 2026. Tickets are on sale now via Oztix.
