**THE ORANGE COUNTY POP PUNK ICONS, ZEBRAHEAD RETURN!**

After a 7-year absence, SoCal Pop Punk/rapcore legends **ZEBRAHEAD **are returning this October to light up lives and stages across Australia.

Formed in 1996 in La Habra, California, Zebrahead carved a unique niche in the punk rock scene, fusing pop-punk, hip-hop, and raw energy. With hits like ‘All My Friends Are Nobodies’, ‘Playmate of the Year,’ ‘Anthem,’ ‘Falling Apart’. ‘The Perfect Crime’ and ‘Hell Yeah’, they have amassed a dedicated worldwide following that has seen them sell out tour after tour and deliver killer festival sets at the likes of Warped, Summersonic, Download, Reading, Slam Dunk, When We Were Young and so many others.

“Zebrahead were amazing. It’s such a pleasure to see a band have so much fun on stage and  it is wonderful to see them care about their fans. They brought the party and the energy” **– Genre Is Dead**

“One of the most entertaining bands I’ve seen live. Tonight was no different” **– Punk News**
