Gang of Youths are coming home.
The Sydney-born, London-based band have announced their first Australian performances in four years, with two shows at the iconic Sydney Opera House – particularly special shows that mark the group’s debut inside the venue’s famed Concert Hall.
Taking place on Saturday, August 8th and Monday, August 10th, the performances will see the beloved band unveil new material alongside fan favourites from across their catalogue.
Welcoming the band’s long-awaited return, Sydney Opera House Head of Contemporary Music Ben Marshall said the shows would be a fitting homecoming. “Praised for pairing crushingly intimate storytelling with monumental ambition, Gang of Youths have carved out a singular place in the Australian music landscape,” he said.
“They have a rare ability to make the deeply personal feel universal, transforming stories of personal grief, vulnerability and belonging into powerful moments of collective catharsis. After four years away from Australian stages, these performances promise a special and thrilling homecoming from one of the country’s most acclaimed live bands.”
Tickets will go on sale to the general public at 9am on Friday, July 3rd, following presales for Sydney Opera House Insiders from 9am on Tuesday, June 30th and What’s On subscribers from 9am on Wednesday, July 1st. All times are AEST. Tickets will be priced from $99.90 (+booking fee).
Gang of Youths – comprising frontman David Le’aupepe, drummer Donnie Borzestowski, guitarist and keyboardist Jung Kim, and multi-instrumentalist Tom Hobden – have spent the past decade establishing themselves as one of Australia’s biggest rock exports.
