- **Event Description**: Returning to the global stage for the first time in 27 years…and Australia, you’re up first!

British pop rock band Transvision Vamp are bringing their 80’s smash hits down under for the first time in almost three decades. Headlining cities across Australia in February 2026, the group will be playing the nostalgia-filled favourites you know and love.

Rising to fame in the late 80’s, Transvision Vamp enjoyed unbelievable success in Australia. With their top single “Baby I Don’t Care” reaching number 3 in the UK and Australian Charts, the band drew global media attention for their rebellious and anarchic image. They will be bringing iconic tracks like “Baby I Don’t Care”, “I Want Your Love” and “The Only One” to venues in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Formed in 1986, their 1988 debut album Pop Art peaked at #4 on the UK album charts and was certified platinum in Australia. Transvision Vamp followed up with their notorious 1989 album Velveteen, delivering their #1 hit “Baby I Don’t Care”. Proving to be their most successful year, 1989 saw the band spent 20 weeks in the Australian top 50 single charts and 25 in the top 100 album charts.

Front-woman Wendy James went on to pursue a successful solo career spanning an additional seven studio albums, including a notable collaboration with Elvis Costello. She served as a feminist symbol in the 80’s for unapologetic self-expression and fearless leadership.

Wendy says ”I am so excited to be coming back to Australia to play the songs which started my whole musical journey! I remember vividly so many moments across Australia, moments of enormous success, enormous love and enormous fun. I’m bringing with me a set full of music that will thrill and musicians who will amaze!” Transvision Vamp have cemented themselves as an 80’s staple, known for their collision of brash punk and commercial pop. Joining Wendy James on an unmissable Australian Tour is Alex Ward (The Thurston Moore Group) on Guitar, Dave Parsons (Transvision Vamp) on Bass, and James Sclavunos (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds) on Drums.

It is time to get your leather jacket out and your dancing shoes on.
