COSMIC Psychos have been a part of the DNA of Australian rock for 40 years and December and January will see them celebrating in style.

Their previously-announced birthday party weekend in Castlemaine is now being topped off with the announcement of special guest headliners Amyl and the Sniffers and Dune Rats on nights two and three. That will be followed by a tour of SA and WA between 7 and 10 December, with shows in Adelaide, Dunsborough, Fremantle and Perth.

If that wasn’t enough, the Psychos will then be doing a full national tour in January with none other than Seattle hardcore stalwarts Zeke, making their first visit to Australia in over 20 years.

Tickets and info for all shows is at cosmicpsychos.com.au.
