Australian rock veterans Jet have announced a second leg of their Rumblin’ Regional Revue, adding eleven shows in regional towns from October 22 to November 30.. The dates follow a busy 2023‑2025 stretch that included an ARIA Hall of Fame induction, a reunion tour, and a stint supporting Lenny Kravitz on his 2025 Australian tour.
Canberra Kick‑off on Oct. 22 Leads a Coast‑to‑Coast Sprint
The newly released schedule opens in Canberra on October 22 before moving to Wollongong, Erina, Hobart, Forth, Toowoomba, Coolum Beach, the Gold Coast, Traralgon, Ballarat and Frankston. According to the tour announcement,each mainland stop will feature Sydney rock outfit Liquid Zoo as the opening act, while Hobart’s psych‑blues group Spooky Eyes will support the Tasmanian shows.
Legacy Hits Meet New Audiences in Regional Hubs
Jet’s setlist is expected to span the band’s two‑decade catalogue, from the 2003 debut Get Born to deeper cuts from later releases. As the source notes, the band’s early singles “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” once topped Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, a rare feat for an Australian act. Bringing those anthems to towns like Forth and Traralgon highlights Jet’s intent to reconnect with fans outside the usual capital‑city circuit.
Regional Tour Signals a Shift From Festival‑Centric Strategies
In an era when legacy bands often limit live work to major festivals and city arenas, Jet’s decision to add multiple regional dates reflects both commercial confidence in their back‑catalogue and a genuine desire to serve underserved markets. The source points out that the move “reflects both the commercial viability of their catalogue and a genuine desire to engage with fans in less frequently serviced areas.”
