DARTZ (NZ) with Salmon Sisters & Favoured State
DARTZ are back for their first Melbourne headline show in eight months, bring a new batch of unreleased material with them for its first proper Australian taste test.
Formed in Aotearoa and now operating out of Naarm, DARTZ have built their reputation the hard way - relentless touring, chaotic live shows, and singalong anthems that thread the needle between beer-soaked pub classics and earnestly ideological indie punk.
After a hectic 2025 touring run spanning NZ, Australia, and Europe, the DARTZ boys spent the back half of the year writing and refining their third album, due for recording this December and release in 2026. This show lands right in the middle of that process - new songs still warm, old favourites dialled up, and everything played loud.
Joining the bill are Naarm favourites Salmon Sisters and Favoured State, setting up a stacked Friday night built for sweat, volume, and maybe more than a couple of frozen margaritas.
Friday 6 February - Evelyn Hotel, Melbourne
Limited tickets available
DARTZ is Daniel Vernon, Clark Mathews, Hakopa Kuka-Larsen, and Christan Pianta
