Future Plans And Favourite Memories: THE DELTA RIGGS Share A Moment

The Delta Riggs will be hitting home soil again this weekend, ready to headline the main day celebrations for Mo's Desert Clubhouse’s 6th birthday celebrations on the Gold Coast. In the lead up to the show, founding member and bass player Michael ‘Monte’ Tremonte took some time out to chat with HEAVY. Arguably Australia’s most underrated band, The Delta Riggs, have been together since 2010, and are about to release a new track before the end of the year, with the hope it will set the pace for what’s to come their way in 2026.
The Riggs frontman Elliot Hammond has had a full roster with his focus recently being with his other band Dope Lemon, which he is a member of alongside his other bestie Angus Stone. Now that is completed, his focus is back with The Delta Riggs, with Monte stating they are excited for what may evolve out of their new releases and plans for the band, as he jokes with Ali calling 2026 The Year of Rigg.
Following on from last year's highlights that saw Smashing Pumpkins’ frontman and founder, Billy Corgan, joining The Delta Riggs for the full tour of Good Things Festival. Prior to Corgan’s accompaniment, The Riggs had made a lasting impression when they played a show in Los Angeles that got the attention of a member of the Foo Fighters crew. So much so that this led to Foo Fighters requesting to have The Delta Riggs support them on their 2015 Sonic Highway stadium tour of Australia. A pivotal moment for the band and a lifelong friendship was formed with Foo's guitarist Chris Shiflett.
Looking forward to getting loose and playing together again, Monte is pumped to be heading back to the GC and to Mo’s, which is set to be a big weekend of celebrations all around. If you’re in the neighbourhood, head on out to the Clubhouse. Kicking it off on Thursday night are the epic legends Testeagles, with The Delta Riggs on Saturday and wrapping it up before they send it will be King Parrot on Sunday.
