The Original Voice of SKID ROW recently announced his return to Australia for a High-Octane Celebration of One of Rock’s Greatest Debuts! Rock legend Sebastian Bach, the unmistakable original voice of Skid Row, is set to reignite Australian stages in 2025. This time, he’s bringing a full-throttle performance of the album that launched a rock revolution – Skid Row’s self-titled debut, performed in its entirety for the first time on Australian soil.
This tour is a massive celebration of a record that changed the face of hard rock and heavy metal – delivered by the voice that made it unforgettable. Fans can expect an explosive set featuring hits like ‘Youth Gone Wild,’ ‘18 and Life’, ‘Big Guns’ and ‘I Remember You.’
Following the announcement of his highly anticipated Australian tour — performing Skid Row’s iconic self-titled debut album in its entirety — rock legend Sebastian Bach sold out his first Melbourne show in days.
In response to overwhelming demand, Bach has confirmed a second Melbourne date at The Forum on Monday November 24th. As an exclusive Melbourne only event to thank his Melbourne fans, this show will feature a full live performance of Skid Row’s 1991 album Slave to the Grind — marking a rare opportunity for fans to witness the genre-defining record performed from start to finish by the original voice behind the music. Celebrating over three decades since its release, Slave to the Grind has gone multi-platinum, cementing its place in rock history. Plus fans will get to hear tracks off Sebastian’s latest album Child Within The Man.
Ahead of the Australian tour, Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips had the opportunity to catch up with Sebastian Bach via a zoom call to talk about the tour, the creation of his latest album Child Within The Man, how the deaths of Ozzy Osbourne and his own dad affected him and there’s a fab tale about dinner with Guns ’n’ Roses’ Duff McKagan.
MORE ABOUT THE SEBASTIAN BACH AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Bach’s recent performances of the album have earned rave reviews across the globe. Cobras and Fire declared: “His voice sounds excellent and the show is an energy-filled 90 minutes of pure RNF’nR.” The Music echoed that sentiment: “Not missing a note or beat, with his distinct voice blasting through the PA and sounding as good as it did on the original recording… He proved why he is still one of the real monsters of rock and heavy metal today.”
With his signature raw energy and uncompromising authenticity, Bach’s live performances are a reaffirmation of his unmatched legacy. As Classic Rock Reviewed wrote: “This wasn’t someone who’d scrubbed his voice clean for mass appeal; this guy was from somewhere. And this was a guy who went for it, full tilt, with everything he sang.” There’s only one voice that defines Skid Row, Sebastian Bach!
In addition to the full-album performance, each night will feature an encore set of hits from Bach’s storied career, including fan favourite selections from Skid Row’s Slave To The Grind and Sebastian’s acclaimed solo records.
