MELBOURNE SKA ORCHESTRA - The Ballad of Monte Loco Tour
From the badlands of brass and the frontiers of funk,Melbourne Ska Orchestra rides again with a soundtrack for the wild-hearted!
Armed with a new record, The Ballad of Monte Loco, the 20-piece posse is firing off a genre-busting fusion of Spaghetti Western swagger, deep reggae grooves, and horn-powered mayhem. It’s the next chapter in MSO’s wild musical saga—and it’s coming in hot.
Fresh off the dusty trails of Mexico and the maple-syruped dancehalls of Canada, MSO returns home for the Australian leg of their 2025 World Tour. Expect cinematic showdowns, sweat-soaked dance floors, and enough energy to raise the roof on every saloon from Sydney to Fremantle.
This ain’t no gig—it’s a dub-drenched reckoning in the badlands of Monte Loco, where the riddim rolls like thunder, the horns cry like desert prophets, and this band of sonic outlaws rides with purpose and fire.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Theatre Royal.
