Bio

The Dead Daisies, formed in 2012 have built a reputation as one of the hardest working and most explosive live rock bands in the world. Blending the soul and swagger of classic ‘70s rock with modern firepower, the band’s sound draws comparisons to Aerosmith, Bad Company and Foreigner — packed with bluesy riffs, massive choruses and powerhouse performances.

Built around a rotating collective of world-class musicians, The Dead Daisies have featured rock heavyweights including, Richard Fortus, Darryl Jones, Glenn Hughes, Deen Castronovo , Doug Aldrich, John Corabi, Tommy Clufetos, Michael Devin, Marco Mendoza, Dizzy Reed and, David Lowy amongst others.

The band burst onto the international scene in 2013 touring with ZZ Top, Aerosmith, KISS, Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Lynyrd Skynyrd before quickly establishing themselves as a global touring force. Over the years they have performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals including Download, Graspop, Sweden Rock, Hellfest and Rock Fest Barcelona, while also headlining sold-out tours across Europe, North and South America, Japan and Australia.

Their acclaimed catalogue includes Revolución, Make Some Noise, Burn It Down, Holy Ground, Radiance and Light ’Em Up, with songs such as “Rise Up,” “Long Way To Go,” “Bustle And Flow” and “Dead And Gone” becoming fan favourites and rock radio staples worldwide. The band has consistently topped rock charts, amassed millions of streams and earned a reputation for high-octane live shows that capture the raw spirit of classic rock.

The Dead Daisies have also become known for unique projects beyond the stage — from their historic cultural trip to Cuba in 2015 to collaborations with Harley-Davidson, the USO and major global rock brands.

In 2024 the band released their hard-hitting rock album Light ’Em Up, recorded in Nashville and Muscle Shoals with producer Marti Frederiksen, followed in 2025 by the blues-inspired album Lookin’ For Trouble. In 2026, despite taking a touring break, the band released Live Plus Five — capturing the energy of their acclaimed Stonedead Festival performance and additional live recordings from Europe and the USA & performed a show at The Arcada Theatre under the banner of The Purple Daisies with Glenn Hughes on vocals and bass.

More than a decade in, The Dead Daisies continue to carry the torch for unapologetic, arena-sized rock — delivering the kind of music that’s loud, soulful and built to be played live.
