Amyl and the Sniffers with Party Dozen

Amyl and The Sniffers have already had a monster year, destroying the main stages of European summer festivals, supporting Turnstile on their recent sold-out US run, and selling out their own headline tours in the US, UK and Europe - including three consecutive nights at the 3,000-capacity Roundhouse in London. Their recent 2025 North American tour marked a huge moment for the band as they brought their raw energy across more than 20 cities in the U.S. and Canada. Now they return in 2026 for some of their biggest shows yet. Their rise has been matched by major industry recognition this year: Amyl and The Sniffers have earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance for their track U Should Not Be Doing That, and have taken home four major ARIA Awards for their third album, Cartoon Darkness - Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Rock Album, and Best Cover Art, and previously, Best Rock Album for their debut.
