Thirty-five years after releasing their iconic album Fun Hurts, Melbourne melodic punk legends Nursery Crimes are back, storming the Bendigo Hotel for a rare headline show and playing Fun Hurts in full!

Alongside the full expression of Fun Hurts, Nursery Crimes will blast out a host of favorites from their back catalogue and unveil a selection of brand-new tracks as they prepare to record in 2027—their first new release since Somethings Wrong with our Heroes in 1993!

The reception was electric and joyous when Nursery Crimes returned to the stage last year across NSW, SA and VIC. Following a highly anticipated show with Bodyjar at the Corner Hotel this October, the Bendigo Hotel show will be Nursery Crimes' ONLY MELBOURNE HEADLINE PERFORMANCE on a tour spanning regional Victoria, Sydney, and Woy Woy until the end of 2026.

Support on the night will come from the mighty pop punk fuzz of Moler, Bendigo’s explosive post-punk specialists Alarms, and the groovy garage punk twang of Gold Coast Leathers. DJ Con Dodgie will be spinning the tunes to keep you movin' and groovin' all night long.

This will be a one-off chance for Melbournites to catch Fun Hurts in full and re-live the rush of hearing those songs for the first time. Tickets will sell fast. You don't want to miss the party!
