ROSE TATTOO has confirmed its final European tour, which will conclude the band's long-standing run in Europe.

The tour will serve as a farewell to the continent, with the band set to perform its last shows in Australia in 2026 and its final U.S.

dates scheduled for 2027.

The European leg will mark the end of the band's decades-long touring history, with frontman Gary "Angry" Anderson confirming that the current tour is their final run in Europe.

A special highlight of the 2026 Australian farewell shows will be the return of guitarist Rob Riley, who joined the band in the early 1980s to replace Mick Cocks.

Riley contributed significantly to the band's early albums, including 'Scarred For Life', 'We Can't Be Beaten', and 'Work Itself Out', and is recognized as one of rock and roll's greatest guitarists.

He will perform on a few key dates to celebrate ROSE TATTOO's legacy.

The band has released eight studio albums, including 'Rose Tattoo' (1978), 'Scarred For Life' (1982), 'Pain' (2002), and 'Blood Brothers' (2007).

ROSE TATTOO has been a staple of Australian rock culture since its formation in 1976, with a core focus on barroom blues-based rock.

The band has toured extensively across Australia and Europe, with limited U.S.

appearances.

Six former members have passed away in recent years, including four of the original lineup: Dallas Royall (1991), Peter Wells (2006), Ian Rilen (2006), Mick Cocks (2009), Lobby Loyde (2007), and Neil Smith (2013).

The band has remained consistent in its identity, with Gary "Angry" Anderson as the only original member still active.

The final shows will be a tribute to the band's enduring impact on rock music, with Anderson emphasizing that rock and roll has saved his soul and remains a vital force in people's lives."
