The Rumjacks

The Rumjacks will set up their amps in Paris on March 19, 2026, at La Machine du Moulin Rouge. Born in Australia, they fuse punk rock and Celtic folk with a direct, no-frills energy. Nervy guitars, a driving, straight-hitting drumbeat, and that Irish touch brought by tin whistle, bouzouki and mandolin: their signature sounds like a pub party exported to the stage, balancing tradition with electric urgency.

The band has made a name for themselves with instantly catchy choruses and songs built to be sung back in unison. The lyrics deal with exile, camaraderie and nights that run too long, set to tempos that alternate between punk surges and more relaxed folk grooves. Live, they roll through classics and new material without easing off, with a raw edge that keeps the room on its toes.

Around St. Patrick’s Day, their Celtic punk takes on a particular flavor, blending rousing melodies with a rock pulse. It’s an invitation to recapture the spirit of the pubs and the intensity of a tight show, driven by a sound that gets straight to the point.
