"Dune Rats" is the same in English as it is in German, as it refers to the name of a band. If you need more context or information about the term, please let me know!

"Ratbag UK/EU Summer Tour June 2026"
June 25, 2026, Lucia Wien
The Australian punk rock chaos-makers Dune Rats are returning to Europe in the summer of 2026 - louder, sharper, and more unleashed than ever before. Fresh off the release of their new album "Old Mates" (March 2026) - a thrilling homage to the EPs from their earlier phase - and the release of the explosive new single "Sharks," the trio from Brisbane will bring a setlist to the stage in June that is made for sweat, sing-along choruses, and stage dives. Driven by hooks, fast-paced, and uncompromisingly fun-oriented, Dune Rats don’t ease into their shows slowly; they create an explosive atmosphere from the very first note.

With two No. 1 albums in the Australian charts and over a decade of relentless touring around the globe, Dune Rats have earned a reputation as one of the wildest live bands Down Under. Hundreds of stages worldwide bear their mark - from major festivals like "Riot Fest" (Chicago), "Splendour in the Grass," and "Mighty Sounds" (Czech Republic) to sold-out headliner tours across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

Their sound is not about nostalgia, but about full-throttle punk without brakes. Raw, direct, and with a hefty dose of self-irony, Dune Rats deliver songs that unleash both chaos and euphoria - catchy melodies collide with crashing riffs and an attitude that takes no prisoners. And on the upcoming tour, one thing is clear: when Dune Rats step into Europe, restraint is not an option. Expect volume, escalation, and a band that gives everything - and holds nothing back.
