Steel Pulse

Steel Pulse, one of reggae’s most iconic and influential bands, is set to celebrate their 50th anniversary with a highly anticipated tour across Australia in early 2025.

Known for their pioneering blend of roots reggae, punk, and rock, Steel Pulse has spent five decades creating socially conscious, empowering music that has inspired generations. From their timeless anthems like “Rally Round the Flag” and “Roller Skates” to their Grammy-winning album Babylon the Bandit, the band’s legacy remains as potent and relevant as ever.

Formed in 1975 in Birmingham, England, by David Hinds and Selwyn Brown, Steel Pulse emerged from the UK’s Windrush Generation, channeling their experiences of racial inequality and social justice into music. Over the years, they’ve shared stages with legends such as Bob Marley, Santana, and Bob Dylan, while touring the world and cementing their status as one of reggae’s most important voices. Their fusion of powerful messages and infectious rhythms continues to resonate deeply with audiences across the globe.

This 2025 tour will see Steel Pulse bring their electrifying live show to Australia with special performances in Sydney, Byron Bay, and Brisbane. Known for their energetic and immersive concerts, the band promises an unforgettable experience that highlights both their musical excellence and enduring commitment to social activism. For long-time fans and newcomers alike, these shows offer a rare opportunity to celebrate half a century of groundbreaking music and witness the unmatched power of Steel Pulse live.

Don't miss this chance to experience one of reggae’s most celebrated bands as they mark their golden milestone with three must-see performances: The Metro Theatre, Sydney on Friday 31st January; The Green Room, Byron Bay on Saturday 1st February; and The Triffid, Brisbane on Sunday 2nd February. A unique fusion of timeless music and passionate activism, these shows are destined to be a landmark moment for reggae and music lovers alike.
