Jebediah announce ThirtyOdyears Tour
Beloved Perth rockers Jebediah are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year with a special run of headline shows across the country, as well as the reissue of some of their most iconic albums on vinyl.
Set to celebrate a sensational snapshot of their three decades as a band, Jebediah’s ThirtyOdyears Tour kicks off in Adelaide and heads to Hobart, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Canberra before closing out with two special hometown shows at Perth’s Rosemount Hotel on Friday, October 31, and Saturday, November 1.
“It feels surprisingly not that old, despite the fact we are all well into our middle ages now,” shares lead singer Kevin Mitchell. “Being in this band is like stepping in and out of a time capsule. It doesn’t matter how many years go by, every time we are on stage, or in the studio, or rehearsal room or just hanging out together, it’s somehow 1995 again, you know? Obviously, our lives have changed immensely, but when you are around lifelong friends, I think there is a part of you that stays the age of your youth. You still relate to each other the same way you did as teenagers. I’m sure anyone who catches up with old school friends would have experienced this a bit. So that’s how it feels. It’s not always easy, but it’s also a gift.”
A fitting addition to their milestone year in 2025, Jebediah fans will also be able to get their hands on a range of the group’s classic back catalogue on translucent vinyl, with some special reissues of The Murmur Years via Sony Music, and also some albums primed for their first-ever vinyl pressing.
“The new vinyl releases will have awesome new artwork, and some of them will be getting their very first vinyl release ever, so that’s exciting,” added Mitchell. “I’m also really excited about the digital re-releases as we have found lots of old demo recordings that no one has ever heard before and B-sides that have never been digitally released, so they are going to be really cool collections of material that hopefully long-time fans will enjoy. That is one of the redeeming features of digital music and streaming and stuff: it is very easy to put that kind of stuff out for people to hear. It’s really for us and the hardcore fans to enjoy, a place for all this archival stuff to sit publicly.”
Emerging back in 1995, Jebediah captured national attention with singles like Jerks of Attention, Leaving Home, Teflon, Harpoon and Animal. With multiple ARIA Award nominations and several WAM Award wins under their belts, including being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2023, the band has notched up millions of streams and two Platinum-certified albums, as well as tours with everyone from The Smashing Pumpkins to Powderfinger, You Am I, Jimmy Eat World and more.
In more good news for fans, the band also revealed that “there might be a Jebediah documentary released soon,” with further details to come.
