Sunshine Coast riff-storm power trio Emu hit the road for an eight-date Australian east-coast tour to celebrate their snarling new single “Yowies Gold” — the first taste of their highly anticipated second album due in 2026. These shows will showcase the single in all its riff-driven glory and road-test fresh material, promising thunderous grooves, psychedelic colour and progressive jams that leave venues hazy and crowds whipped into a sonic whirlwind. Joined by a handpicked cast of Australiaʼs finest heavy acts, these shows are not to be missed.
Formed in 2021, the trio quickly carved a reputation for explosive performances and a genre-bending sound that fuses late ʼ60s/early ʼ70s riff rock, classic metal heft and blues-soaked improvisation. Their 2024 self-titled debut earned international attention — landing #8 on Metal Stormʼs Best Hard Rock Album Awards and #28 on the Doom Charts Top 100 Albums — with critics praising the bandʼs “undeniable riffage” and ferocious musicianship.
On this tour, expect extended improvisation, blistering anthems and ferocious passages that push “Yowies Gold” into new live territory. The tour is a first-look at the bandʼs next chapter as they head into the studio late 2025 to complete album #2. They’re joined at Shotkickers by Fly! + Giant + Shaddow Tussle.
