Australian hard rock band Airbourne are getting closer to selling out a massive 35-date tour of Europe and the UK in early 2025. At the time of writing, 22 dates have already sold out, while four shows currently have a low-ticket warning.
Taking to Facebook this morning (17 August), the band said of the upcoming tour: “Be quick or miss out…. This tour is selling out FAST !!”
Beginning the tour in Ulm, Germany, on 30 January 2025 (sold out), Airbourne are set for a massive two-month-plus tour, travelling across Europe and the UK before ending the run by returning to Germany—this time in Dortmund on 29 March 2025 (another sold-out date).
With music influenced by AC/DC, Metallica, Rose Tattoo, and stacks more, Airbourne make rock music for the masses and have a reputation for putting on energetic, unforgettable shows. Plus, they’re the ultimate festival band and have received tons of positive word of mouth over the years, leading them to become one of Australia’s most successful exports.
Airbourne’s most recent album, Boneshaker, was released in 2019. In recent years, they’ve opened for the likes of Alice Cooper and Steel Panther.
Describing Airbourne’s set as an “absolute hurricane” of energy when they opened for Steel Panther at Brisbane’s Eatons Hill in October 2022, The Music’s Samantha Wolstenholme remarked of their performance (that followed two other bands):
Coming in hot with their signature sound that echoes the rock heyday of Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC, Airbourne blaze through their best-loved hits like Girls In Black and Back In The Game, and I’ve never seen a band go this hard and rock out this much on stage – it’s electrifying to watch.
Watching Airbourne support Alice Cooper at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena in February 2020, The Music’s Joe Dolan wrote:
Ready To Rock starts the set at an 11 and the band keep rising from there: from bassist Justin Street thrashing his long locks like a windmill in Burnout The Nitro to frontman Joel O’Keeffe hoisting himself aloft a railing after running straight through the crowd. It’s pub rock with an arena spectacle: AC/DC meets Def Leppard. All the pompous insanity that you could possibly want from a stadium gig – and it’s fucking glorious.
