Cult Aussie act Ukulele Death Squad are storming back to the stage, bringing their genre-bending, no-holds-barred musical chaos to the UK and Europe. This powerhouse 8-piece collective effortlessly blurs the lines between Australiana disco, grungy blues, Latin surf-rock, and pure ukulele punk. They are the band no one can define, but everyone wants to see live.
Their raunchy stage antics and heart-stopping ballads have already mesmerised festival audiences across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Europe. On any given night, you might catch a whiff of Brazilian-style ukulele, a thunderous horn fanfare, or find yourself shouting along to a massive sea shanty favourite. Bringing a massive stylistic breadth to the stage, the expanded line-up features three of Adelaide’s most commanding vocalists alongside an explosive rhythm and brass section.
When you step into their show, leave your dignity at the door. The Squad transports audiences to wild dancehalls around the world with their trademark, unhinged virtuosity – creating an interactive spectacle where the fourth wall doesn’t stand a chance. Do yourself a favour: show up, let go, and become the silliest, boldest version of yourself.
