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 𝑖̨𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑒𝑦!

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.
