Upstyledown vinyl
Adding to the anniversary celebrations, the band’s breakthrough album Upstyledown will finally receive its first ever vinyl release, originally released in 2000, the record debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, achieved platinum certification and earned a nomination for ‘Breakthrough Artist – Album’ at the 2001 ARIA Awards.
Few Australian punk bands have left a legacy quite like 28 Days, formed from humble beginnings in Frankston’s skate scene during the late 1990s, the band quickly became synonymous with the explosive energy of Australia’s alternative music boom.
Tracks including Rip It Up, Say What? and Sucker became staples of festivals, skate parks and playlists across the country, helping define an era that included Big Day Out, Homebake and Channel V.
Rather than simply revisiting the past, the anniversary run celebrates a band that continues to command stages after 30 years, a rare achievement in Australian heavy music.
Fans can expect the same high energy live show that made 28 Days one of the country’s most beloved punk acts, alongside a chance to relive one of Australian punk’s defining records on vinyl for the very first time.
