Shihad Add More Shows To Final Tour

in News

Shihad have one final Australian tour on the way with new shows added to Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne featuring full album performances.

At Shihad’s new Perth and Melbourne show the band will perform ‘The General Electric’ in full. Brisbane is getting the ‘Pacifier’ album.

‘The General Electric’ was the fourth Shihad album. The 1999 released reached number one in New Zealand and number 23 in Australia.

‘Pacifier’ was the 2002 album released under the name Pacifier after Shihad briefly changed their name after the September 11 New York terrorist attack when some bright spark at their record label thought Shihad sounded too much like Jihad. Unfortunately the new name was thought through too well either. A ‘pacifier’ in the USA is what we call a ‘Dummy’ in Australia so on the new album ‘Love Is The New Hate’ they became Shihad again.

Sammy Hagar has always had a reputation for surrounding himself with powerhouse players, but his upcoming live album, Sammy Hagar & The Best Of All Worlds Band – The Residency (out October 10, 2025 via Big Machine Rock), brings a distinctly Australian twist. On keyboards, vocals and guitar is Rai Thistlethwayte, best known at home for fronting Thirsty Merc and more recently as a member of The Fabulous Caprettos. For Australian fans, the inclusion of Thistlethwayte in Hagar’s latest chapter is a striking reminder of how far the Sydney-born musician’s career has travelled.

A heavier, darker, and more muscular outing than their blockbuster debut America’s Least Wanted, Menace was hailed by Kerrang! as “the album of the year.” Yet, in the United States, the record received little to no label support, leaving frontman Whitfield Crane to famously declare that their label was quietly backing away.
