Too Long Between Drinks! Lagerstein Announce Their Australian Return Tour

Be prepared to raise your glass and lose your voice as Lagerstein bring their full-scale pirate metal party back to stages across Australia.

“Lagerstein are an infection and endearingly positive force passionate about bringing happiness in the world.”
— Metal Hammer (UK)

“If there was ever a party band to rule all party bands in Australia (and possibly the world), then that band would be the loveable pirates in Lagerstein.”
— Metal Injection (US)

After years off the local waters, Lagerstein are back with Too Long Between Drinks, an Australian return tour set to deliver the chaos, camaraderie and high-energy spectacle that has made them one of the
country’s most beloved live acts.

Having performed more than 450 shows across 22 countries, including appearances at legendary festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Lagerstein have built a global reputation as a world-class touring act.

With three studio albums, one live release and a Queensland Music Award for Best Heavy Song, the band now returns to Australian stages for a run built for old crewmates and first-time recruits alike.

This Is Not Just a Gig. It’s a Full Pirate Party Experience.

Expect a stage transformed into the S.S. Plunderberg, singalongs from wall to wall, wild crowd interaction and a room that feels more like a crew than an audience.

Whether you’ve sailed with Lagerstein for years or you’re stepping aboard for the first time, this show is designed to deliver one of the most unforgettable live music experiences you’ll find anywhere.

Across the tour, Lagerstein will be joined by a stacked mix of heavy, high-energy supports, with lineups varying by city.

What They’re Saying About Lagerstein


“As the Party Parrot was flapping around on stage and the Captain was egging the crowd to join along ‘flap your arms’, I realized that Lagerstein is basically just The Wiggles but for alcoholic adults, and these big kids had the time of their drunken lives!”
— Everyday Metal, Melbourne

“When the members of Lagerstein take to the stage, the crowd erupts in cheers and whoots, and the atmosphere inside the Triffid goes from casual fun to downright revelry.”
— Hysteria Mag, Brisbane
