Dust off your Doc Martens and emotionally prepare to feel very old—The Lemonheads are heading Down Under, ready to serenade you with tunes from a time when mixtapes were a love language. Evan Dando, the man who once made being beautifully dishevelled an art form, will hit stages across major Aussie cities, armed with a setlist that screams “Gen X therapy session.” The tour promises a full album performance of It’s a Shame About Ray, aka the soundtrack to every 90s breakup, drive, and moment of existential dread in a flannel shirt.

Fans are already panic-buying tickets and asking themselves if their knees can survive general admission. Millennials, meanwhile, are explaining to Gen Z that yes, there was music before Spotify, and no, The Lemonheads have nothing to do with citrus TikToks. It’s not just a concert—it’s a pilgrimage.

One night to relive the grunge era without the dial-up. Just don’t expect moshing; this crowd’s more "stand still and cry softly into their Coopers." Sources: The Music, NME Australia, Rolling Stone AU – 23 Apr 2025
