Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats AUS / NZ Tour · Auckland · Dec 10, 2026

<p>UK psychedelic heavyweights Uncle Acid &amp; The Deadbeats return to Australia and New Zealand this December, bringing their dark, hypnotic live show to stages across the country.</p><p>The brainchild of Kevin Starrs, Uncle Acid &amp; The Deadbeats have spent over a decade carving out a singular space within the global heavy music landscape. Since emerging in 2009 from the depths of the British underground, the band have built a reputation for their unmistakable fusion of warped psychedelic pop, downer blues and doom-metal intensity.</p><p>Too bold and idiosyncratic to be easily defined, Uncle Acid&rsquo;s sound is steeped in haunting melodies, layered vocal harmonies and eerie, cinematic arrangements, offset by crushing riffs and a persistent sense of unease. It&rsquo;s a sonic world that feels both deeply nostalgic and completely otherworldly, cementing Uncle Acid &amp; The Deadbeats as one of the most compelling live acts in contemporary rock.</p><p>With their last visit to our shores in 2020, Australian audiences can expect a set that traverses the band&rsquo;s cult catalogue, delivered with the immersive intensity that has made them a must-see worldwide.</p>
