“The Dead Daisies have just finished a run of dates with Aerosmith and it’s been great playing to different audiences around Australia. Now we are heading to the States on the Uproar tour – really love touring the U.S. and can’t wait to play over 25 shows across the country!” – Jon Stevens

Performing with some of the best in the music industry, and on the same stages with some of the great bands in the world – Aerosmith, ZZ Top and KISS, has left a lasting impression on me. As a band we are excited to be on the Rockstar Uproar Festival in August/September and can’t wait to give the U.S. a taste of The Dead Daisies” – David Lowy
