The Drones

Back by popular demand after a 10-year sabbatical, The Drones are reforming for a one-off tour of Australia in 2026. Sauntering along the edges of chaos and precision, The Drones built a reputation off the back of their iconic live shows, delivering epic performances that are both confrontational and liberating at the same time. Led by Gareth Liddard (Tropical F Storm, Springtime, Spencer P Jones and The Nothing Butts, Bond Odyssey), one of the most uncompromising, distinctive songwriters of modern times, marked by his dense poetic lyricism and spitting vocal style. Lauded by peers, fans and critics alike for his blend of political commentary, dark humour, vivid storytelling and brutal musical conveyance. These shows will feature 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, joined by Mess Hall.
