Less Than Jake

Ska-punk mainstays Less Than Jake return to Australia and New Zealand this October and November for their ‘Circus Down Under’ tour, bringing their signature mix of brass, hooks and chaos back across the country. As a long time favourites of Australian audiences, the Floridian five piece has built a reputation that goes well beyond nostalgia. Every return visit to our shores sees full rooms, full singalongs and fun times and is a reminder of why they love to come back. In their own words, Australia remains “one of our favourite places in the world.” and that feeling has remained totally mutual. Across more than three decades, Less Than Jake have carved out a catalogue that sits at the centre of ska-punk’s global story. From early staples through to later releases, their shows balance energy and precision, big choruses, sharp playing and just enough edgy unpredictability to keep things interesting. Joining them on all dates for the Circus Down Under tour are; The Aquabats! who bring their own brand of offbeat, high energy performance and Detroit’s The Suicide Machines who deliver a sharper edge. Fast, direct and rooted in punk as much as ska. No overthinking required here. If you’ve seen Less Than Jake before, you already know what to expect. If you haven’t, this is the time to find out.
