20 years after their last performance, Van Ramsey and the Dogs of Rest have remerged and are taking their new show on the road – HOMECOMING. With a hot-selling National tour kicking off in their hometown of Hobart, Van and the Dogs are inviting YOU to a SECRET RENDEZVOUS. A sneak-preview, a last-chance-to-see for those who missed tickets to their SOLD OUT Tasmanian shows.

This performance is for those 18+. There are potential strobing effects from projected video
Tickets are free but you must RSVP below to nab your tickets!

Tasmanian born and bred, the enigmatic Van Ramsey and his loyal band – The Dogs of Rest – are one of the biggest acts you’ve never heard of. More popular in Osaka and Berlin than in Sydney or Melbourne, Van Ramsey and the Dogs of Rest are pure synth-rock bombast with a twist of the sublime. Be prepared for a twin bass-attack, full frontal assault with a flailing of flesh like you’ve never seen before.


Whilst the wearing of masks is not mandatory it is recommended in certain situations by Tasmanian Public Health.  Masks will be available upon entering the venue for those patrons who would like one.  

If you’re unwell, it is recommended that you stay at home, and we look forward to welcoming you at Salamanca Arts Centre another time.
