In addition to the pre-sale, for the first time in the band’s career, The Screaming Jets are offering VIP and Meet & Greet opportunities to add to your ticket purchases.
Limited to just 30 fans per show, VIP punters will receive an item of Life Blood tour merchandise, a personal item signed by the band, a photo with the band members, and the chance to chat for 15-20 minutes.
Singer Dave Gleeson said of the forthcoming tour, “LIFE BLOOD is at the heart of humanity. Rock n Roll is the LIFE BLOOD of the Jets and our fans. When we play shows, everyone in the place, their hearts are pumpin’ and jumpin’ in time, and the force of the LIFEBLOOD connects us all. It’s a fuckin beautiful thing.”
Discussing the choice of adding Mammal to the bill, Gleeson continued, “Mammal live is a must for any lover of riffs and bombastic 70s-90s rock. Known for their electrifying live energy, Mammal's raw power and passion will elevate the tour to new heights.”
