The hairspray cloud is drifting back across Australia this November, and it smells exactly like overdriven Marshalls, leopard print and midnight MTV. Enuff Z’Nuff and Pretty Boy Floyd are joining forces for the ‘RU PRETTY ENUFF’ Australian tour, a package that feels less like a standard co-headline run and more like a full-scale resurrection of glam metal’s loudest instincts. Somewhere between power-pop sweetness and Sunset Strip sleaze, this tour promises choruses big enough to rattle old cassette cases back to life.
For Enuff Z’Nuff, the return feels long overdue. While many of their contemporaries burned bright then disappeared into the fog of late-night VH1 reruns, the Illinois veterans never really stopped moving. More than three decades on, the band still carries the melodic punch that made tracks like “Fly High Michelle” and “New Thing” stand apart from the pack in the first place. Beneath the glam exterior was always a band obsessed with hooks, harmony and songwriting craft.
Pretty Boy Floyd arrive from the opposite side of the strip, all Hollywood excess and swaggering neon attitude. Formed in the chaos of the late-’80s Sunset Strip scene, the band became cult favourites through sheer commitment to the spectacle. Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz remains one of glam metal’s most unapologetically over-the-top records, packed with riffs designed for raised fists and choruses that practically demand shouted backing vocals from sticky nightclub floors.
What makes the ‘RU PRETTY ENUFF’ tour feel more interesting in 2026 is that neither band is treating this as a museum piece. Both continue to release new material, threading fresh songs into sets stacked with fan favourites, giving the tour something more alive than simple nostalgia.
There’s something oddly refreshing about how unapologetic this entire tour feels. No ironic distancing. No attempt to sand off the excess. Just two veteran bands leaning fully into the glamour, volume and melody that made them cult heroes in the first place. For anyone who still believes guitar solos should be dramatic and choruses should arrive like fireworks exploding inside a dive bar jukebox, November suddenly looks dangerously loud.
