Drunk Mums (AUS) Returning to Aotearoa New Zealand in October

Drunk Mums (AUS) Returning to Aotearoa New Zealand in October

Chris Cudby / Thursday 21st August, 2025 1:00PM

Unassailable ambassadors of Naarm Melbourne's pub-rock renaissance, Drunk Mums have Aotearoa New Zealand in their sights for this October. Showing the world how it's done with their riff-crammed 2024 latest album Beer Baby, the Oz garage-punk foursome have teamed up with our very own CLEAN DiRT for a six date spring onslaught of gigs, their first local headline shows in seven years! Originally hailing from Cairns in 2011 and now with four raucous studio long players to their name, yowl along with Drunk Mums and raise a glass or two (responsibly of course) at the following dates...

Press release:

Melbourne rockers Drunk Mums are making their long-awaited return to Aotearoa this October — their first visit in seven years, last rocking Kiwi soil back in 2018.

Armed with their fourth full-length record Beer Baby (2024), the four-piece garage-punk troublemakers are set to blast through six shows across the country, tearing through Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, Taupō, Raglan, and Auckland. The new tracks have already earned “instant classic” status with fans, slotting seamlessly next to the band’s older chaos-inducing staples.

With over 60 originals stuffed under their beer guts and years of relentless gigging behind them, Drunk Mums are tighter than ever — and louder too. Expect sweat, riffs, singalongs, and an epic dose of carnage.

Tickets are on sale now — don’t snooze, or you’ll miss the chaos.

Formed in 2011, Drunk Mums are a Melbourne-based four-piece blending garage rock, punk, and pub-rock grit. Known for their high-energy shows, tongue-in-cheek humour, and relentless touring schedule, they’ve built a reputation as one of Australia’s most riotous live acts. With four full-length albums, a stack of EPs, and countless sweat-soaked gigs under their belt, the Mums continue to prove that rock ’n’ roll is best served raw, loud, and slightly hungover.
