What happens when Aussie rock royalty throws their weight behind a punk rock trio barely old enough to hit high school? You get a game-changing all-ages tour that proves rock n’ roll doesn’t care about age – it only cares about attitude.
The Wave Raiders, a band of two brothers and their best mate, have swapped homework for headlining and schoolyard banter for support slots. Now, they’re gearing up for their biggest milestone yet – opening three all-ages shows for The Screaming Jets. It’s a gig that’s not just a breakthrough, it’s a statement.
Kicking off the new year with a full-throttle celebration, The Jets are set to deliver the ultimate holiday soundtrack to the East Coast on their Rock ‘n’ Roll on Summer Tour 2025 and frontman, Dave Gleeson is stoked to hand the Wave Raiders a support slot.
“The Wave Raiders are young, but they’ve got the raw energy and talent that’s hard to ignore. They’ve got something special,” said Gleeson. “We love the fact that everywhere we go, there are young bands pumping out new rock – they love the Aussie music that’s gone before and want to be part of the rock scene moving forward.
“Giving up n comers like the Wave Raiders a shot on big stages to bigger crowds is how The Jets were taught to do it by our heroes who gave us a shot.”
Gleeson believes that all-ages shows are the breeding ground for the next generation of artists and fans.
“We’re amped that these upcoming QLD shows are all-ages – they’re a vital part of introducing young people to live music,” he said.
“There’s nothing like seeing different generations come together to rock out – and it’ll be one hellava education in rock n roll for the younger crowd!”
Wave Raiders’ debut single, Fun, is available on all major streaming platforms. For a further sneak peek of what to expect, check them out on YouTube and their social media channels.
