The Datsuns at San Fran

Time has rolled on, and so has the clan DATSUN. After years of wrangling riffs across distant lands, marinating in sonic experiments, and rebuilding the clan’s percussive backbone, they return to their homeland with fire in their strings, fury in their rhythms, and rock & roll coursing through every vein.

This tour marks the clan’s first full assault across Aotearoa since 2018, kicks off in March 2026, promising joyous savagery, riffs honed to perfection, and the raw energy that only The DATSUNS can deliver. The tour sees the clan’s Scandinavian drummer Adam Lindmark (Dead Lord) taking up the thundering seat, joining lead string wrangler Christian, Phil on the rhythmic weavings, and Dolf conjuring hooks across hemispheres, bringing a lifetime of Datsun lessons to the stage.

Audiences can expect the full sweep of The Datsuns’ catalogue, from the anthems that scorched their early path to the first sparks of their eighth studio album, set to arrive in 2026. The first taste, ‘Ugly Leather’ – accompanied by a blistering video, old fire, new fuel, same unrelenting inferno.
