# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Drones - 2026 Australian Tour
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 08 Aug, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Back by popular demand after a 10-year sabbatical, The Drones are reforming for a one-off tour of Australia.

Get ready to kick it all off Darwin as the band bring their hard-hitting Aussie indie rock to the INPEX Sunset Stage.

Sauntering along the edges of chaos and precision, The Drones built a reputation off the back of their iconic live shows, delivering epic performances that are both confrontational and liberating at the same time. Led by Gareth Liddard (Tropical F Storm, Springtime, Spencer P Jones and The Nothing Butts, Bond Odyssey), one of the most uncompromising, distinctive songwriters of modern times, their shows are marked by his dense poetic lyricism and spitting vocal style. Lauded by peers, fans and critics alike Gareth blends political commentary, dark humour, vivid storytelling and brutal musical conveyance into one killer sound.

The Drones turned their outsider status into a badge of honour, winning the inaugural Australian Music Prize, for their LP Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By, releasing seven studio albums and touring with the likes of Neil Young, Patti Smith, The Dirty Three, to name a few. Now it’s time to experience them live again.
