TEENAGE DADS Release New Single + Video ‘Weaponz’

‘2023 Breakthrough Artist Of The Year’ ARIA Award Winners Teenage Dads return today with their brand new single Weaponz, and the excitingannouncement of their biggest ever Australian & New Zealand headline tour. Hitting the ground running in 2024, Teenage Dads have been teasing the new single over their national run of shows with Laneway Festival and Tasmania’s Party In The Paddock over the last few weeks.

Taking a slight sonic detour for their first release of 2024, on their new single Weaponz the breakthrough act deliver a punchy, Strokes-esque, alt-rock anthem that perfectly captures the high-energy chaos expected at any of their live shows. Teenage Dads explain “it can take a lot of strength to get what you want and sometimes you need to take a bullet (or weild a bazooka) to see your vision come to life.” To mark the occasion, Teenage Dads have also released the official video clip for Weaponz, live now.

Gearing up for their biggest year yet, Teenage Dads have also announced their biggest ever and only Australian & New Zealand headline tour for the year, taking place over August and September of this year playing their biggest venues yet across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Tasmania as well as shows in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Joining the band as a special guest will be Melbourne singer-songwriter Phoebe Go, and Adelaide rising star Aleksiah. Tickets are on sale now available at https://www.teenagedadsofficial.com/tour

A huge year for the Mornington Peninsula act, 2023 saw the band play over 94 shows globally across 10 different countries, and 3 different continents, including multiple sold out headline shows across the country (and over 10,000 tickets sold nationally!) and one electrifying Splendour In The Grass debut on the Amphitheatre stage. The band also joined the lineups of Groovin The Moo, Yours & Owls and the inaugural SXSW Sydney. Teenage Dads’ 2023 Midnight Driving EP debuted at #2 in the ARIA Album Charts, and notably the band wrapped up their biggest year to date taking home the 2023 Michael Gudinkski Breakthrough Artist ARIA Award.
