Garage-Rock powerhouse THE DARTS (US) have been officially announced as support for punk legends THE DAMNED on their upcoming Australian tour, joining the bill for the Brisbane and Melbourne shows, alongside dates of their own this September.
Fresh off a relentless run of global touring and the acclaimed release of ‘Halloween Love Songs ‘ (2026, Adrenalin Fix Music / Meow Hiss Music), The Darts bring their signature all grrl ferocity, black slip swagger, and high voltage stage presence to Australia, where their explosive performances have already earned them a devoted following. With a history that includes tours with The Damned, The Living End, Billie Joe Armstrong’s The Longshot, and festival appearances from Punk Rock Bowling to Binic Folk & Blues Fest, Sjockfest, Cosmic Trip, and Roots n Roses; along with placements on major television shows like Peaky Blinders, the band’s trip to Australia marks another milestone in a career defined by momentum, grit, and nonstop evolution.
The current lineup: Nicole Laurenne (vocals/organ), Lindsay Scarey (bass), Rebecca Davidson (guitar), and original drummer Rikki Watson continues to push The Darts’ dark glitter garage sound into new territory. Their latest LP has earned features in Rolling Stone, Rock n Folk, BBC Radio, France 24, and a headline making performance inside Scotland’s Barlinnie Prison. With fan funded releases selling out across continents and a reputation for delivering sweat soaked, high energy shows, The Darts are primed to ignite audiences as they join The Damned for two massive nights of punk driven chaos. Australia, brace yourself this slumber party is about to get wild.
