“Majestically maneuvering between indie rock, trip-hop, psychedelia, dream-pop, darkwave, shoegaze, and garage punk, among many other sounds and textures, THE HORRORS enraptured the spectators at Dark Mofo in a sonically wondrous journey. The five-piece undeniably bring ‘all wonders to light’ with their scintillating soundscapes and lustral gothic poetry, which coalesce entrancingly in magnificence.”
– William Oakeshott (Wall Of Sound)
Earlier this year, The Horrors made a captivating exclusive appearance at Dark Mofo in Hobart and treated Melbourne fans to an intimate Live at 3RRR set ahead of the festival. The visit marked the group’s first Australian shows since 2012, when they appeared at Laneway Festival alongside a run of headline shows in support of their third studio album Skying.
In April 2026, The Horrors are set to return to Australia for a headline national tour, today announcing dates in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.
After nearly 20 years making music, few bands have created a canon as determinedly innovative and consistently acclaimed as The Horrors. Emerging as zeitgeist-shaking garage-goths on their 2007 debut Strange House, before taking a sharp left turn for their Mercury-nominated follow-up Primary Colours, The Horrors have continually evolved — roaming freely between genres.
Their 2011 album Skying won the NME Award for Best Album, while V (2017) was hailed as “a triumph” by The Guardian in a five-star review. Their 2021 EPs Lout and Against The Blade ushered in a new era with their most industrial and uncompromising sound yet.
Now, with their brand new album Night Life, The Horrors return with a record of weight and space; of melancholy and euphoria. It’s a work that entwines the visceral and the sublime — the thoughts that bloom under cover of darkness, when the rest of the world sleeps. Night Life rekindles the raw, instinctive spirit of their early years while expanding their sonic reach into thrilling new territory.
