Australian punk mainstays 28 Days are marking a major milestone, hitting the road this June to celebrate 30 years of music, sweat and stubborn independence.
What started at a Frankston skate park in the late 90s quickly turned into something much bigger. By 2000, the band had stormed the charts with Upstyledown, landing at number one on the ARIA charts and soundtracking a generation. Tracks like Rip It Up, Say What?, and Sucker became staples of packed-out venues, with mosh pits that felt less like crowds and more like a single, heaving force.
For many, 28 Days were part of a defining era in Australian music. They were a constant presence across festivals like Big Day Out and Homebake, as well as the golden years of Channel V, helping shape the sound and attitude of local punk at the turn of the millennium.
Three decades later, the band is still bringing that same raw energy to the stage. This anniversary tour is less about looking back and more about recognising a band that has managed to endure in a scene where longevity is never guaranteed.
The run of shows will see them play across the country, including a Melbourne stop at Prince Bandroom in St Kilda on Friday 26 June. Fans can expect a set packed with the songs that defined their rise, delivered with the same intensity that made them stand out in the first place.
