The iconic duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, known as Tenacious D, have delighted fans by announcing their much-anticipated ‘Spicy Meatball’ tour dates for Australia. This much-awaited tour will bring the acclaimed acoustic metal and comedy rock legends to various cities including Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Adelaide in July.

Tenacious D, recognized for their global hit ‘Tribute‘ and other popular songs like ‘Kickapoo‘, ‘Beelzeboss’, and ‘Fuck Her Gently’, continue to capture audiences around the world.

Tenacious D’s musical journey continued with the release of their collaboration with Jack White, ‘Don’t Blow It, Kage’, for Record Store Day in 2019. They followed up with covers of ‘Time Warp’, ‘You Never Give Me Your Money’, and ‘Wicked Games’, as well as a tribute to The Who titled ‘The Who Medley’ in subsequent years.
