Jump - The Van Halen Tribute
JUMP IS BACK! THE ULTIMATE VAN HALEN EXPERIENCE RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA THIS OCTOBER FOR A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL RIOT YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS
Following their first rampage across Australia in 2024 that had fans screaming for more, JUMP – America’s Van Halen Experience is officially heading back Down Under this October… and this time, the amps are louder, the kicks are higher, and the demand is off the charts.
If you caught them last time, you already know: this isn’t just another tribute band. This is Van Halen, reborn. And if you missed out last time? You’ve definitely heard the stories – the crowds, the chaos, the scissor-kicking madness that had people dancing and singing from the first song until the very last. Well, now’s your second chance to catch the band everyone’s been talking about.
“With six records to work with, they played the hits, classics, deeper cuts, their namesake and the tunes people came for. Mike Neumann had Diamond Dave down from kicks, to attitude, flamboyance to wardrobe, and a full head of hair” - Covering The Scene.
Critics aside, it is the plethora of fan reviews online that are making Van Halen and rock fans the world over take notice:
“Honestly, I wasn’t expecting that. It felt like 1981 walked through the door and punched us in the face — in the best possible way.”
“Go see this band. They are as good if not better than Van Halen. They rock, they entertain and you will have a great time. See them!”.
“These 4 young men weren't even alive during the Van Halen years that they cover, but you'd never know it. They perform these songs with perfection and passion.”
“Excellent band with high energy and fantastic showmanship!! If you like David Lee Roth era Van Halen this tribute band will leave you jumping like it’s 1984!!”
With their insane energy, authentic wardrobe, and frontman Michael Steven’s gravity-defying Diamond Dave kicks, JUMP has earned a global reputation as the most explosive and youthfully electric tribute to the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen on the planet.
That’s not hyperbole — it’s the truth. Every note, every scream, every shred of Eddie’s signature guitar tone is nailed to perfection, right down to the spandex and stage banter.
To celebrate this second triumphant Aussie return, JUMP will be performing the classic “Van Halen 1” in full together with all the hits, fan faves and deep cuts from those first six, classic, DLR led Van Halen albums.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any wilder…..Australia’s own glam slam kings of noise, Poizon’Us – The Australian Poison Tribute – are joining the tour as the official opener in every city. Expect all the party antics and hits that made Poison one of the biggest glam rock acts of all time together with the big hair, the big riffs and all the party-starting anthems from the Sunset Strip’s golden days.
Be warned, do not expect a sit-down-and-clap show. It will be a non-stop, sweat-drenched, beer-spilling, shout-the-lyrics-with-your-
“It’s not just a tribute. It’s a celebration of everything that made Van Halen larger than life. This is how it’s done.”
