Revered Australian rock band The Screaming Jets have today announced 2 huge live events that will take them all the way from Tamworth in Northern NSW to Kirriemuir in Scotland!
Lead by dynamic frontman Dave Gleeson, The Screaming Jets will kick off 2027 with a return to The Longyard Hotel in Tamworth for a third consecutive year, as part of Tamworth Country Music Festival’s calendar of events. This has become an annual pilgrimage for The Jets – the band’s Tamworth shows were fully sold out in both 2025 and 2026, and fans are encouraged to snap up tickets quickly to avoid disappointment.
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday 2nd July – see here for more.
Following Tamworth, The Screaming Jets go global! They will pack their bags and head for Scotland, to be part of legendary rock festival, BONFEST.
Taking place at the end of April in Kirriemuir, Scotland, the festival celebrates the life of Bon Scott, who was born there. It features live bands and tribute acts and turns the town into a hub for AC/DC fans each year.
The Screaming Jets will appear as Special Guest on the night of Friday 30 April in their inaugural appearance at BONFEST.
Dave Gleeson says, “Bon Scott is a rock n roll hero – no question. He lived it like he sang it – straight up and hard, setting the stories of his wild life to the rock n rollinest band in the world. I love him so much I’ve got a tattoo of him on my arm!
So to be heading to BONFEST in 2027 as Special Guests on the Friday night with The Screaming Jets is a massive buzz for us.
It’s been a while between drinks for the Jets in the UK, and we can’t wait to catch up with all our mates over there, and rock out with a Scottish crowd, and maybe even sample a wee dram or two while we’re at it.
We’re bringing full-tilt Aussie rock’n’roll with us – no holding back – we’ll be rockin out with the spirit of Bon in mind!”
Is there another band who could mix it with Australian country music’s finest and weeks later, tear up a UK Festival stage in a celebration of Bon Scott? Hats off to The Jets!
