Crash Test Dummies return with greatest hits tour in April 2027

Crash Test Dummies return to Australia in April 2027 with a Greatest Hits Tour spanning Brisbane, Tweed Heads, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth. The Canadian alt-rock band plays the Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide on Thursday 8 April, following a sold-out 2025 run, with presale tickets available from 26 August and general public sales from 28 August.

**CRASH TEST DUMMIES** are heading back to Australia in April 2027 — and they’re not coming quietly. After a sold‑out 2025 run that reminded audiences exactly why they became one of the most unmistakable bands of the ’90s, the Dummies return with a full‑throttle, career‑spanning ***Greatest Hits Tour***.

Their comeback was met with glowing praise, celebrating the band’s singular sound, razor‑sharp musicianship, and **Brad Roberts’** iconic baritone; a voice that critics still can’t stop talking about.

“Crash Test Dummies, 30 years on, still have the magic” **(Hear 2 Zen Magazine)**

“Brad Roberts sounded as pitch perfect as on any original 1993 vinyl recording” **(Music Festivals Australia)**

Last time, they delivered ***God Shuffled His Feet*** front to back. This time, they’re opening the entire vault. Fans will get the songs that shaped a generation — the hits, the deep cuts, the moments that made Crash Test Dummies a global phenomenon.

Expect ***Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm*****, *****Superman’s Song*****, *****Afternoons & Coffeespoons*****, *****Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead*****, *****God Shuffled His Feet*** and plenty more.

There’s simply no mistaking this band. Their blend of folk‑rock, alt‑pop, wry storytelling and that unmistakable voice carved out a lane nobody else could occupy and their songs still hit with the same strange, warm, unforgettable charm.

If you were there last time, this tour is a whole new beast; bigger, broader, built around the tracks fans have been shouting for. If you’re new, prepare to meet a band whose originality remains as sharp as ever.

**The songs you remember. The voice you never forget.**

“It was a hearty, soul-restoring night of music” **(Scenestr)**

“The most wholesome slice of nostalgia I think I’ve ever had the chance to experience. What a show!” **(May The Rock Be With You)**

“Brad Roberts’ unmistakable voice remains as captivating as ever” **(The Live Wire)**

“As soon as Brad Roberts opens his mouth... one can't help but hear it — that voice remains as iconic as ever, in front of another sellout crowd” **(13th Floor)**

“The band sounds great, and hearing Brad’s vocals live is something special” **(May The Rock Be With You)**
