Philadelphia 6-piece The Wonder Years wrapped up their 2025 Australian tour in Perth, the band’s first time down under in over 7 years, with California punks Joyce Manor and Melbourne up-and-comer Suzi who joined them on all dates.
Melbourne based indie-punk artist Suzi has been gaining recognition with consistent airplay from radio stations including triple J and support slots for the likes of Ceres, Tigers Jaw, Sly Whithers and Hobo Johnson.

Also supporting The Wonder Years is beloved SoCal punk outfit Joyce Manor, hitting Aussie shores for the first time since 2019.
Currently on a sold out tour of the US celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their fan-favourite record ‘Never Hungover Again’, Joyce Manor have been a cult-favourite of the alternative scene since the release of their debut album ‘Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired’ back in 2011.
The band have been busy over the last few years – touring with the likes of Weezer, The Gaslight Anthem and PUP; performing at festivals such FYF Fest, Coachella, Riot Fest & The Farmer And The Owl; and even making an appearance on John Mulaney’s recent Netflix talk show ‘Everybody’s In LA’ earlier this year.

The Wonder Years formed in 2005 & became a mainstay on the pop-punk/alternative scene over the last two decades, with classic albums such as ‘The Upsides’ (2010), ‘Suburbia I’ve Given You All And Now I’m Nothing’ (2011), ‘The Greatest Generation’ (2013) and ‘No Closer To Heaven’ establishing them as one of the premier pop punk bands throughout the 2010s.
After 7 full length records, two EPs and array of splits/compilations, the band have continued to grow their passionate fan-base over the years – with widespread acclaim their most recent full length LP ‘The Hum Goes On Forever’ (2022) – which received strong praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Kerrang! And Exclaim! upon it’s release.
The band have released a string of singles since their last full length LP, including ‘Year Of The Vulture’ earlier this year – a track that sees The Wonder years at their very best; with thrashy guitars, and frontman Dan Campbell’s signature unhinged vocals taking centre stage.
