UK psychedelic heavyweights Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats will return to Australia this December, bringing their dark, hypnotic live show to stages across the country.

The brainchild of Kevin Starrs, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats have spent over a decade carving out a singular space within the global heavy music landscape. Since emerging in 2009 from the depths of the British underground, the band have built a reputation for their unmistakable fusion of warped psychedelic pop, downer blues and doom-metal intensity.

Too bold and idiosyncratic to be easily defined, Uncle Acid’s sound is steeped in haunting melodies, layered vocal harmonies and eerie, cinematic arrangements, offset by crushing riffs and a persistent sense of unease. It’s a sonic world that feels both deeply nostalgic and completely otherworldly.

On stage, that vision comes to life in full force. Their live show channels the spirit of heavy music’s most turbulent eras while remaining utterly unique - equal parts mesmerising and menacing. It’s this balance that has cemented Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats as one of the most compelling live acts in contemporary rock.

With their last visit to our shores in 2020, Australian audiences can expect a set that traverses the band’s cult catalogue, delivered with the immersive intensity that has made them a must-see worldwide
