The amazing Out Of Control Army are heading to Australia for the very first time this October for an explosive national tour presented by Focus Group Music and Ska Nation.

Formed in Mexico City in 2014, Out Of Control Army have become one of the most exciting bands in the international ska scene. Fusing classic Jamaican ska roots, punk energy, Latin fire and powerhouse brass arrangements, the band has built a reputation for unforgettable live performances and a rapidly growing worldwide following. Their music combines sharp musicianship, infectious rhythm and the kind of crowd connection that turns every show into a celebration.

Australian audiences may already know of the band through their 2024 Mexican tour with Melbourne Ska Orchestra, a successful run that helped spark their desire to tour Australia. A special recording from that tour is set for release to coincide with these long-awaited Australian dates.

Joining them on all shows are Melbourne ska favourites The Resignators. Formed in 2005, The Resignators are one of Australia’s most respected ska acts, known for high-energy performances, strong songwriting and a horn-driven sound that blends ska, reggae, punk and soul influences. Over two decades they have toured widely, built a loyal following and represented Australian ska on the international stage.

Earlier in 2026, The Resignators joined the amazing Out Of Control Army in Mexico, where the two bands formed a strong friendship that now brings them together again for this special Australian run.

Expect massive brass lines, dancefloor rhythms, singalongs, punk spirit and the joyful energy that only ska can deliver. This is a rare chance to catch one of Mexico’s finest live bands on their debut Australian visit, backed by one of Australia’s best.

Do not miss the amazing Out Of Control Army with special guests The Resignators this October.

Mudhoney

"When it comes to grunge or even just Seattle, I think there was one band that made the definitive music of the time. It wasn't us or Nirvana, but Mudhoney. Nirvana delivered it to the world, but Mudhoney were the band of that time and sound." - Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)

Seminal Seattle four-piece Mudhoney return to Australia this October to play a bunch of club shows and headline 4ZZZ FM’s “Zed 51” Festival. The grunge pioneers also add a handful of New Zealand dates for the first time in over a decade.

Since forming in 1988, Mudhoney quickly became the flagship act for legendary independent label Sub Pop and to date has released over 25 official primary releases spanning over three decades.

Their provocative debut single ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’ and 1992 hit ‘Suck You Dry’ cemented them as pioneers of the late 80’s early 90’s grunge explosion, with their sound an instrumental foundation of the era. In 2023 they released their 11th studio album ‘Plastic Eternity’ showing no signs of slowing down.

“Seeing Mudhoney live is a masterclass in primal, unapologetic garage-punk consistently delivering high-octane shows defined by fuzzy, sludgy guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and Mark Arm's signature snotty, throat-shredding vocal delivery” – themusic.com.au

Singles “Tortfeasor” and “Gut You Like a Fish” pushed into darker moods and tense introspection. With a new EP underway and touring slated for 2026–27, they continue driving into stranger territory.

With special guests Cosmonaut, ALARMS, Bruxist, The Pass and Velora.
