The band released three Top 5 albums ‘Get Born’ (no 1, 2003), ‘Shine On’ (no 3, 2006) and ‘Shaka Rock’ (no 5, 2009). ‘Get Born’ achieved eight times platinum in Australia for sales over 660,000 and platinum in the USA for sales over 1,000,000.

Jet reformed for the Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band’s summer tour of Australia and New Zealand. They will perform at the Melbourne, Hanging Rock, Hunter Valley, Christchurch and Auckland Springsteen shows.

Tickets for the Gasometer show on Tuesday are $56.10.
