Press release:

California punk legends Lagwagon are heading back to New Zealand in early 2026 to celebrate 30 years of their iconic album HOSS. This tour is all about reliving the raw energy and spirit of the '90s punk scene that HOSS helped define.

Fans can look forward to hearing HOSS performed live IN FULL - every track, start to finish - plus a bunch of fan favourites from their extensive catalogue. From the punchy riffs of "Violins" to the heartfelt "Razor Burn," it's a rare chance to experience the album that solidified Lagwagon's place in punk history.

Known for their high-energy, no-frills live shows, Lagwagon delivers the kind of performances that get the crowd moving and singing along. Whether you've been a fan since the '90s or just discovered them, this tour promises a night of pure punk rock.
