THE LEMONHEADS ANNOUNCE 2025 AUSTRALIAN TOUR

Handsome Tours and Double J present The Lemonheads, returning to Australia in May 2025 for a special run of shows, celebrating two of the band’s most beloved albums, It’s a Shame About Ray (1992) and Come On Feel the Lemonheads (1993).

Evan Dando and his band will perform both records in full, revisiting the songs that defined an era and continue to resonate decades later. The tour offers a rare chance to hear these albums played start to finish, capturing the mix of sharp songwriting and unfiltered emotion that made The Lemonheads a defining act of their time.

“The Lemonheads ability to merge punk rock’s energetic simplicity with lush, melodic hooks is both timeless and influential.” Pitchfork

Featuring classic singles like Into Your Arms, Big Gay Heart, It’s About Time, and My Drug Buddy, these iconic albums embody some of the finest moments of ‘90s alternative music.  Now, they’ll be played live in their entirety—on stage, the way they were meant to be heard, with a room full of fans singing along.

“I’m beyond stoked to be heading back to Australia, just in time for the release of new music that I’ve been working on, including a single co-written with the incredibly talented Tom Morgan.” says Evan Dando. “Australia has always been a massive source of inspiration for my music, and with new music coming soon this feels like a dream come true.

“It’s also a special moment for me, as we wrap up celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘It’s a Shame About Ray’ and ‘Come On Feel the Lemonheads’. To be able to mark the end of that era in Australia, a place that’s always felt like a second home, is almost like being blessed to move on to a new moment.”

The tour kicks off in Melbourne before heading to Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth.
