Airboune release a new single and announce tour in 2026

The energetic new single “Christmas Bonus” by Australian hard rock band Airbourne, which was released today, is a seasonal surprise for both kind and naughty fans, as blabbermouth.net reports. The song has references to the first “Die Hard” movie, which is undoubtedly the most explosive holiday movie ever made, in addition to a guitar solo that is cleverly designed to spread joy even from a distance.

Christmas is a time to rock ‘n’ roll! I remember being a little kid, and I really didn’t like carols at all — I thought they were annoying. I just wanted to listen to AC/DC and Black Sabbath. But then I got this new AC/DC record, ‘The Razor’s Edge’, and there was this song, ‘Mistress For Christmas’. I had no idea what it meant, but that’s what I was playing for Christmas that year. Rockin’ out at Christmas is one of the best times of the year to rock out — let’s all headbang around the Christmas tree! – Joel O’Keeffe
