Melbourne Ska Orchestra Outlaws & Offbeats Tour

A milestone for many, often signifying the transition into adulthood, approaching the 21 year age bracket is always something to be celebrated.

And in 2024, the 21st anniversary for the ARIA Award-winning collective Melbourne Ska Orchestra is set to bring the festivities to fans across Australia, with the band today proudly announcing the Outlaws and Offbeats Tour kicking off this August before whipping around the country well into October.

And on the weekend of September 20-21, the entire 26-piece (!) band will be rolling into Margaret River to play The River (20th), followed by Freo.Social (21st).

With seven full-length albums, three international tours, two ARIA awards wins and millions of worldwide streams under their belts, the Melbourne Ska Orchestra bring a fresh twist to the world of ska with a killer live show to boot. Band leader and industry heavyweight Nicky Bomba (John Butler Trio, Bomba, Bustamento) says “This mighty big band really is a spectacle to behold and the energy that I feel on stage inspires me to connect with our audiences on the highest level possible. Outlaws and Offbeats indeed!"
