Peter & The Test Tube Babies (UK) Touring New Zealand in March

Still charging hard after a legendary 48 years (!) of active punk rock duty, Peter & The Test Tube Babies will soon be back in Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in two decades. Co-founded by Peter Bywaters and Derek "Strangefish" Greening in 1978 in Peacehaven, Sussex, Peter & The Test Tube Babies are treating us to a triple date nationwide tour, with local dates locked in for A Rolling Stone in Christchurch, Valhalla in Wellington, and Whammy Bar in Auckland.

Their raucously irreverent, punk pathetique anthems taking them to number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart with their 1982 debut Pissed and Proud, Peter & The Test Tube Babies' songbook now encompasses 15 studio records and counting. Make your pilgrimage to salute these real deal UK punk originals this coming March — brought to you by Vinnies Touring...

Press release:

Formed in 1978, Peter And The Test Tube Babies (UK) remain one of the longest serving active punk bands in history and return to Australia and New Zealand in March 2027 for another round of cheeky banter, drunken singalongs and pub bans, with 6 shows across the 2 countries.

Having been one of the first underground bands to ever ‘hit the charts’, with their cult classic Banned From The Pubs going all the way to the top in 1982, make no mistake – despite their punk pathetique disposition and piss taking tendencies, they remain one of the tightest live performances you’ll ever bear witness to.

These shows will sell out – don’t miss your chance to catch one of punk’s pioneers live & thoroughly pissed!
