They’re already coming over next month for a sell-out tour, but Amyl And The Sniffers will also be back in the UK next winter for their biggest ever headline show.
The Aussie heroes have just revealed a date at London’s massive Alexandra Palace on November 15, 2025, following gigs in Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and London very soon – all of which will follow the release of the band’s third album Cartoon Darkness, due out on Friday, October 25.
Speaking in this week’s Kerrang! Cover Story, singer Amy Taylor says of the meaning of the title, “That lyric, ‘Driving headfirst into cartoon darkness,’ has been kicking around in my head for a while. It’s a trippy way of viewing the world. With everything that’s going on, particularly post-COVID – cynicism and politics, genocides and war, social media and AI all poured into one big bowl – sometimes, it seems like the future is destined to be dystopian darkness – but it’s still just a sketch, not set in stone!
“It’s like the future is this childlike thing, full of possibility, sure, but also scary, with all these unseen snakes and things crawling around in the shadow. The present is much more fleshed-out: dystopian and chaotic, but full of wonder and beauty and fun.”
