Iconic UK band The Horrors’ first Australian tour in more than a decade is just around the corner, kicking off next Friday 10th April at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre. Today they announce Sydney outfit G.U.N will join them as support in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Tickets are available HERE.
Self proclaimed as drama class with sex appeal, G.U.N have punctuated their voice deep into the heart of Sydney’s underground music scene. Driven by vulnerability, vanity, and soul, G.U.N blur music, performance art and theatre into a unique live experience. G.U.N’s unique live shows have been widely recognised and celebrated as a loving contribution to Australian alternative music and performance art alike. In 2024 G.U.N was nominated for FBi Radio’s best live act and recognized as #2 in the top 15 best live acts of SXSW Sydney 2024. Returning high from their Dark Mofo 2025 debut – where The Horrors also made a captivating exclusive appearance – G.U.N are not to be missed.

Last year’s performances at Dark Mofo and 3RRR marked The Horrors’ 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.
After nearly 20 years making music, there are few bands who’ve created a canon as determinedly innovative and consistently critically-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, since the beginning they have roamed freely between genres. 2011’s Skying won the NME Award for Best Album; V was heralded as “a triumph” in a five-star Guardian review, while 2021’s pair of EPs – Lout and Against The Blade – marked a new chapter with their most industrial, uncompromising output yet.
The band’s brand new album, Night Life, is a record of weight and space; of melancholy and euphoria; a record that has the ability to make bedfellows of seemingly disparate ideas as only The Horrors can. The ‘Night Life’ here is not the vim and vigour of pubs and clubs. It’s the thoughts that happen under the cover of darkness; the places your mind takes you when the rest of the world is asleep. A record born out of a desire to revive the raw, instinctive spirit of the band’s early work.
