THE SUPERJESUS – 2026 ‘JET AGE’ ANNIVERSARY TOUR

THE SUPERJESUS – 2026 ‘JET AGE’ ANNIVERSARY TOUR

The Superjesus have announced a very special run of shows, celebrating 25 years of their seminal sophomore record ‘Jet Age’ – hitting stages in Brisbane, Gold Coast, St Kilda, Castlemaine, Margaret River, Fremantle, Adelaide, Central Coast and Marrickville from June 5th.

‘Jet Age’ came at a pivotal moment for the band in 2000; following the release of their breakthrough debut album ‘Sumo’ in 1998, the band were shot into spotlight – playing packed out crowds at the Big Day Out, touring relentlessly at home and overseas, and even picking up a few ARIAs along the way. All the strain and pressure put on the band eventually led to some internal turmoil, with founding guitarist Chris Tennent leaving the band and Tim Henwood taking his place.

The band worked with producer Ed Buller on the record (Suede, The Psychedelic Furs), writing their material on the road while touring in Los Angeles and laying it down in the studio in Sydney at Festival Studios. The eventual album debuted a new refined, mature sound for the band, and featured some of the biggest hits in their catalogue; including ‘Gravity’, ‘Secret Agent Man’, ‘Enough To Know’ and ‘Second Sun’. ‘Jet Age’ went on to peak at #5 on the ARIA Albums chart in Australia, and was certified platinum in 2002 – with single ‘Gravity’ currently sitting on over 19 million streams alone.

PRAISE

” the charismatic Sarah McLeod, remains among the greatest front-people this country has produced.” THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

“With its dark mood and heavy rumble, Sumo sat comfortably in the pocket of the grunge era of the 90s, but Jet Age showed off a band still totally rocking but reinvigorated and in many ways, reborn.” DOUBLE J

“The secret to The Superjesus is their amazing ability to write fantastic songs. It is their strong point. The band is powerful and dynamic; they sound tight and confident. The Superjesus are a band hitting their purple patch in songwriting and their sweet spot live. It really was a masterclass in delivering a rock gig.” HEAVY MAG

“The new tracks hit live with serious weight – ‘Romance’, ‘Loneliness Is The New Black’ and ‘We Won’t Let Go Until It’s Over’ all landed like long-lost classics, while ‘Diamonds’ offered a rare and tender moment, McLeod switching gears with rich, emotive vocals that pinned the room.” BLUNT MAG
