“Majestically maneuvering between indie rock, trip-hop, psychedelia, dream-pop, darkwave, shoegaze, and garage punk, among many other sounds and textures, THE HORRORS enraptured the spectators at Dark Mofo in a sonically wondrous journey. The five-piece undeniably bring “all wonders to light” with their scintillating soundscapes and lustral gothic poetry, which coalesce entrancingly in magnificence.” William Oakeshott (Wall Of Sound)
Earlier this year The Horrors made a captivating exclusive appearance at Dark Mofo in Hobart, and treated Melbourne fans to an intimate Live at 3RRR set ahead of the festival. The visit marked the group’s 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. In April 2026, The Horrors are set to return to Australia for a headline national tour, today announcing dates in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth.
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.
