RON KEEL RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA FOR THE NOVEMBER 2026 “LIVE THE ROCK” TOUR

MR Touring is thrilled to announce they are bringing the Metal Cowboy, Ron Keel, back to Australia for five shows in November 2026. These will be full band/full blast events, with an entire set of Keel classics on deck in addition to recent Ron Keel Band hits. Loud rockers Ratchet Dolls will be the support act for the entire tour, which includes the following dates:

21.11 PRAHRAN, VIC REVOLVER UPSTAIRS

22.11 SEAFORD, VIC SCOTTIES GARAGE

26.11 SYDNEY, NSW BRIDGE HOTEL

27.11 BURLEIGH HEADS, QLD MO’S DESERT CLUBHOUSE

28.11 BRISBANE, QLD THE BACK ROOM

Tickets for all shows are now available at https://www.mrrecords.com.au and https://xmusic.au/tours 

Backing up the Metal Cowboy on stage will be Keel’s longtime partners in crime Dave “DC” Cothern and Jason Haven on lead guitars, plus Australia’s own Gavin Hill (White Widdow) on drums, and Tory Giamba (bass).

A PERSONAL STATEMENT FROM RON KEEL:

“I am very grateful to the fans, and to my dear friends at MR Touring, for inviting me back to Australia one more time. Last time we were there (2020) was one of the highlights of my entire career and I really appreciate this opportunity.

“I realize that some recent cancelled tours down under, by other artists at this level, have left the fans disappointed and apprehensive. Those were promoted by a different agency – I have the utmost confidence in MR Touring, as we worked together on that 2020 tour and built a strong relationship based on trust and our mutual goal of putting on some great shows.”

The 2026 Australian tour follows immediately after Keel’s triumphant Las Vegas appearance at the KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas festival November 13-15. “We’re giving the Aussie fans that exact same show, and then some,” Ron promises. “In addition to the Keel set, there will be recent RKB cuts, Steeler, and of course a Black Sabbath moment.

“I’m not sure what MR Touring has planned as far as meet and greets/VIP packages, but I can guarantee – like always – I’ll be the last man to leave the venue after every gig, after every handshake, hug, photo and autograph are finished. Thank you, Australia!”
