Tom Morello – guitar god, political firebrand, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer – is bringing his earth-shattering riffs and revolutionary anthems back to Australian soil for the first time in over a decade. Before tearing up Bluesfest 2025, Morello will light up Melbourne and Sydney with two exclusive headline shows, offering fans an intimate taste of his ferocious, genre-defying guitar wizardry.

From Rage Against the Machine to Audioslave, Prophets of Rage, and Bruce Springsteen’s E-Street Band, Morello has spent his career reprogramming the DNA of rock music. His blistering solos, pedalboard sorcery, and politically charged lyrics have soundtracked resistance movements worldwide, with tracks like Killing in the Name, Bulls on Parade, Like a Stone, and Guerrilla Radio standing as eternal battle cries against oppression.

Fresh off the release of his debut solo rock album’s first single, Soldier in the Army of Love, Morello arrives in Australia with new material and decades of defiant anthems, promising a set that will shake venues to their core.

Joining him for these high-voltage shows is BIG NOTER, the brand-new project from Australian hip-hop powerhouse Briggs. BIG NOTER sees the Yorta-Yorta/Wurundjeri/Wemba-Wemba icon trade beats for brutal riffs, channeling his hardcore, punk, and metal roots into a raw and unfiltered sonic assault. Produced by Nick DiDia (Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen), BIG NOTER’s debut album is due in 2025, making these performances a first-ever preview of one of Australia’s most anticipated new heavy acts.

Two once-in-a-lifetime nights. One of the most iconic guitarists of all time. A brand-new era of Aussie heaviness. Melbourne and Sydney – prepare for revolutionary rock at its most potent.

Wednesday 16 April: Enmore Theatre, Sydney
