The Radiators, The Tote, 21st March 2026 by Mary Boukouvalas

The rock ‘n’ roll road to stardom is a dangerous road indeed littered with the corpses of starry eyed hopefuls, wannabes, one hit wonders and jagged “if onlys”…while many bands self-implode before they even leave the garage, victims of classic clashing egos and personalities. Few survive.

One of these survivors is Australian band THE RADIATORS who in 2024 celebrated 46 years together since their very first show.

THE RADIATORS have carved a niche in the annals of Australian rock history and shared the stage with all the great Aussie acts such as AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and INXS, with over four thousand shows to their credit. They’ve played their music to an estimated three million people in Australia, recorded over one hundred original songs, with two albums being awarded Platinum status, two achieving Gold and sales of over one million units.
