Back by popular demand after a 10-year sabbatical, The Drones are reforming for a one-off tour of
Australia in 2026.
In June 2025 the band played mini sets for two fundraiser shows at the Croxton Bandroom in
Melbourne. Shows sold out in 20 minutes, making it obvious that a lap of the country was in order!
So here you go, national dates, featuring songs spanning their seven studio albums! Don’t miss your
chance to see one of Australia’s greatest underground bands live. This is a one-off tour.
Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin will take a mini break from their other baby, Tropical F Storm,
which has spent the past ten years relentlessly touring the globe and releasing ARIA Award-winning
records.
