The Dead Daisies will headline the Coldcock Herbal Whiskey Showcase Stage powered by Ernie Ball at the Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival this summer. The touring outfit of The Dead Daisies is vocalist Jon Stevens (NOISEWORKS, INXS), lead guitarist Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses, THIN LIZZY), rhythm guitarist David Lowy (MINK, THE ANGELS), bassist Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, TED NUGENT, WHITESNAKE), drummer Alex Carapetis (NINE INCH NAILS, JULIAN CASABLANCAS) and keyboardist Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses).

For The Dead Daisies, it’s all about the songs, but it’s also all about having fun. It may be a simple formula but that’s why it works, and that’s why the band are such a powerful musical collective – a band of brothers pumping out powerful, anthemic songs served up with that devious sense of mischief which has always lived at the heart of rock’n’roll.
