For more than 50 years, Rose Tattoo have been one of Australia’s most uncompromising and influential rock bands.
From the pubs of Sydney to stages across Europe, the UK and two tours as Special Guests for ZZ Top and Aerosmith, just to name a few, Rose Tattoo‘s blistering fusion of blues, boogie and streetwise rock ‘n’ roll has earned them legendary status both home and abroad and a place among the most important bands in Australian music history. Their songs have become anthems, their attitude legendary, and their influence continues to resonate through generations of musicians worldwide.
Now, after half a century on the road, Rose Tattoo have announced that 2026 will mark the band’s final year of touring. A special feature of these farewell shows will be the return of guitarist Rob Riley, who will join Angry Anderson, Mick Arnold, Steve ‘Kingy’ King and Paul Demarco on stage to celebrate Rose Tattoo‘s remarkable legacy.
