Punk rock rambler Henry Rollins has expanded his 2023 Australian speaking tour, adding a couple of extra dates to his already-extensive June itinerary.
The musician, writer and radio host has announced extra shows in Brisbane and Melbourne, after the previously announced shows in both cities sold out.

The legendary Black Flag and Rollins Band frontman will play a third gig at Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Sunday, 18th June, and a second show at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on Sunday, 25th June. These will be the final shows announced for each city.
Rollins’ 20-date ‘Good To See You’ tour marks the icon’s first trip down under since 2016. Rollins, an avid traveller and skilled raconteur, will be recounting experiences from the last seven years during the shows. He’s known to relate stories from his life as an artist and activist with characteristically blunt intimacy.
Rollins entered the public consciousness as the energetic singer of Californian hardcore band Black Flag, fronting the band from 1981 until their first breakup in 1986. He’s added a few strings to his bow since that time. Along with fronting the Rollins Band from 1987 to 2006, he’s hosted a weekly radio show on LA tastemaker station KCRW, authored more than 30 books, and acted in film and TV.
The ‘Good to See You’ tour visits Europe and the UK before making it to the Antipodes later mid-year.
