…**Make Epic Trek To Play for Fans in Ukraine**

**Debut Australian Tour January 2026**

Finland’s multi platinum selling superstars, **The Rasmus**, who are finally headed to Australia in January, made good on previously cancelled Ukranian tour dates (after Russia’s invasion).  

This past weekend, the band traveled into the middle of a war zone that remains under daily Russian bombardment, to play the **Atlas Music Festival** in Kyiv, and the response was tremendous!

*“We are very honored and very happy to show our support for the*  
*Ukrainian nation and to meet our fans.”*

Flying was not an option so the band took FIVE trains to get to Kyiv. Due to an air alert they spent the night before the show in a shelter and barely slept. Despite the threat of Russian air attacks, they were very happy to be in Ukraine, home to many of their fans.

Australian fans will experience The Rasmus for the first time when they tour in early 2026  
A Rasmus concert is not just a great rock show, it’s a celebration of individuality, a call to arms for every misfit hiding in the shadows. 

Fri, Jan 30: The Triffid, **Brisbane**  
Sat, Jan 31: Manning Bar, **Sydney**  
Sun, Feb 1: Max Watts, **Melbourne**
