Two decades after the release of one of Australia’s most defining rock records, Eskimo Joe are hitting the road once again to celebrate Black Fingernails Red Wine, the album that shaped a generation, topped charts, and became a cornerstone of Australian music history with its themes of identity, politics, and human connection that still feel as powerful and relevant as ever.
The multi-ARIA Award-winning trio will perform the entire album live, in full, alongside a career-spanning set of their biggest hits, as part of a capital city tour across Australia in 2026. Kicking off on May 1 in their home town of Fremantle, the 20th Anniversary Tour will head to Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide, revisiting some of the iconic venues that shaped Eskimo Joe’s early years.
Tickets are on sale today at 9am AEDT from https://www.eskimojoe.net/tours
The shows will feature Black Fingernails Red Wine performed in its entirety, followed by a second set packed with fan favourites from across the band’s acclaimed catalogue, including hits like From the Sea, Love is a Drug, Foreign Land, and their latest single, Miracle Cure.
Joining Eskimo Joe as special guest at each show is singer-songwriter Alex Lloyd, whose own success with debut album Black the Sun and the ARIA-Award-winning hit song Amazing shared the spotlight around the same time as Eskimo Joe began carving out one of the most enduring careers in Australian rock.
