New Zealand garage-rock favourites The Datsuns return to the UK this July for two headline shows as part of their latest European tour.

Formed in Cambridge, New Zealand, the band first broke through in the early 2000s with a raw, riff-heavy sound that helped define a new wave of garage rock revival. Their self-titled debut album introduced them to international audiences and established their reputation for loud, direct and swaggering live shows.

Known for their explosive performances, sleazy rock‘n’roll spirit and uncompromising guitar-driven sound, The Datsuns have remained a cult favourite for fans of hard rock, garage punk and classic rock energy.

The UK dates will see the band play Manchester’s YES before heading to The Dome in Tufnell Park, London, for a second headline show the following night.

Expect a blistering return from one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s best-loved hard-rock exports.
