Jerry Can & A Van presents: WAAX ‘Ur A Rat’ Tour

Iconic spiced rum Sailor Jerry and the legends at Yours and Owls are turning up the volume once again with the return of Jerry Can & A Van – the no-rules, all-heart live music tour hitting five East Coast stops this August and September.

This year’s headline act is none other than Brisbane’s WAAX, returning leaner, louder, and full of fire after a three-year hiatus. Fronted by magnetic vocalist Maz De Vita, WAAX marks a fierce new chapter with the release of their blistering new single “UR A RAT”, and a run of intimate, high-energy shows in raw, sweat-filled venues that honour both Sailor Jerry’s and the band’s gritty roots. 

With Sailor Jerry’s legacy deeply rooted in traditional tattoo culture, it’s only fitting that this year’s tour also brings ink into the spotlight. Taking the energy up a notch, celebrity tattoo artist Lauren Winzer will team up with Maz for exclusive content and join the Sydney show for a one-day-only flash tattoo session, giving fans the chance to wear the tour on their sleeve (literally). It’s a celebration of bold self-expression, rebellious spirit, and the lasting art that unites music and ink.

Rooted in DIY spirit and zero ego, Jerry Can & A Van is music with grit, heart, and connection, celebrating the in-between moments, intimate venues, and the messy magic of live shows that punch above their weight. Just like the tour, Sailor Jerry spiced rum embraces bold flavours, good times, and unapologetic self-expression. Inspired by legendary tattoo artist Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins, this smooth, spicy rum is perfect neat, in a classic Jerry cola, or your own creative cocktail, made for those who like a little edge with their drink.
