Australian rockers Jet are currently on their highly anticipated North America Tour 2025.
The band kick started the tour at the end of May with back-to-back shows on Canadian soil, first at The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto and the following night at L’Olympia in Montreal.
In between the Canadian performances, SWOMP caught up with Jet bassist Mark Wilson for an interview. Listen, below:

Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing almost 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album “Get Born”.
The album produced a string of classic singles in “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, “Rollover DJ”, and “Look What You’ve Done” and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards.
Both “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.
Jet’s follow up album “Shine On” followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”, “Bring It On Back” and “Rip It Up”, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world, and an unforgettable Big Day Out run in 2007.
Jet played their last show in 2010 and reformed in the Summer of 2017 for a series of shows with Bruce Springsteen & their own special headline dates in Sydney and Melbourne.
