Venue: Hotel Vegas

View on Official SXSW

Summary

Radium Dolls are a four-piece powerhouse from Brisbane/Meanjin, known for explosive live shows, razor-sharp lyricism, and a swaggering sound packed with punch, confidence, and grit. Blending ferocity, humour, and introspection, they’ve carved out a distinct place in Australia’s modern rock landscape—raw, fearless, and unapologetically their own. Their debut album Legal Speed dropped in March 2024, earning national airplay, critical acclaim, and a QLD Album of the Year nomination. Singles like ‘CIA’, ‘Wandering Eye’, and ‘NAA’ quickly became fan favourites, launching a packed East Coast tour capped off with a sold-out hometown show at Brisbane’s iconic venue, The Zoo. They followed it up with the Man Scout single tour in November—further fuelling their reputation for unmissable, high-octane performances. Now, fresh off their biggest run yet, the Scorching Heat headline tour saw them sell out all shows and play to their largest crowds to date. With new music on the horizon and international ambitions in sight, Radium Dolls are charging into their next chapter—poised to push Australian rock into bold new territory.
