For their latest surprise unveiling, a day on the green have announced an iconic indie rock line-up to tour nationally next February and March.

With a line-up that packs this much of a punch, it’s practically the perfect booking for anyone who loved alt rock in the 1990s. And, er, who didn’t?

The six bands have eight ARIA Awards between them, with more than 30 ARIA Award nominations, and are responsible for 12 Top 10 albums and 19 Top 40 hit singles.

On the announcement, The Living End’s Chris Cheney said, “After spending a huge chunk of this past year touring internationally we can’t wait to play shows in our own beautiful Australian backyard.

“As anyone who’s ever gone to a day on the green knows, they’re always unique gigs but this one is extra special. The line-up is killer! … Hot damn! Get on it!”

Also getting pump for the shows is Spiderbait’s Kram, who added: “We’re all so stoked be playing a day on the green again next year all around Australia. The last time we did these shows the response was amazing and the gigs were so awesome. Thanks to the fans that came out and made these events so brilliant for us … such a great line-up and we can’t wait for it all to start!”
