Australian alt-rock act Magic Dirt are officially gearing up for an Australian run to celebrate 25 years since their debut single "Dirty Jeans." The upcoming "25 Years On // Still Dirty" tour has been set to stretch across late 2025 and early 2026.
The newly announced run will see Magic Dirt hit multiple cities across Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales, before crossing over to Indonesia in mid-2026. They will be joined by a series of local and international acts along the way, including Gyroscope and some festival guests.
Magic Dirt are fronted by Adalita Srsen. The band originally featured Dean Turner, Raúl Sánchez, and Adam Robertson. Their early EPs include Signs of Satanic Youth (1993) and Life Was Better (1994).
Magic Dirt announced the upcoming run via an official Instagram post, which read:
"🎉25 YEARS ON // STILL DIRTY👖Celebrating 25 years of Dirty Jeans + more! This Nov/Dec we’re hitting the road to mark 25 years since Dirty Jeans first made its mark. Born from a scrappy cassette demo in a Melbourne share house, it became our first charting single and a career-defining anthem - packed with handclaps, tropical guitar licks and hooks galore!"
The post continued:
"Originally scribbled down and taped by Adalita in 1999, the song was nearly lost before being produced by Greg Wales and Dean Turner into the pop-grunge classic you know today. Released in July 2000 on our third album What Are Rock Stars Doing Today, it hit #68 on the ARIA National Charts, #11 on the ARIA Alternative Top 20 and #12 in the Triple J Hottest 100 - not bad for a rough-as-guts bedroom demo."
Magic Dirt concluded the post, saying:
"25 years on, we are taking it back to where it all began with a run of exclusive shows and a killer lineup of special guests. Expect the faves, a deep cut or two and some new songs we’re itching to road-test before heading back into the studio. It’ll be sweaty, loud and a little nostalgic and “…that’s the way we like it!” Hopefully see you out there, Dirtbags x Tickets on sale at www.magicdirt.com 🎫 (link in bio)"
