Amyl and the Sniffers: Raw Punk Fury Returns to North America

Amyl and the Sniffers are bringing their explosive, unhinged energy back to North American soil in summer 2026. The Grammy-nominated Australian punk band—led by the incomparable Amy Taylor—launches their only 2026 North American headlining dates in June, including their debut at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

What Is Amyl and the Sniffers?

Amyl and the Sniffers is an Australian pub rock and punk band from Melbourne, formed in 2016. The band consists of vocalist Amy Taylor, guitarist Declan Mehrtens, bassist Gus Romer, and drummer Bryce Wilson. Known for blistering live performances that leave audiences "slack-jawed" (The New Yorker), they've become one of the most exciting live acts in modern rock.

Grammy-Nominated Cartoon Darkness

The 2026 tour supports their acclaimed third album Cartoon Darkness (2024), which earned their first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance for the incendiary track "U Should Not Be Doing That." Grammy.com called it "a layered approach to the world's current status...kicking the door open to the band's new era."

The album marked an evolution—sharper social commentary, bigger production, same raw energy. From the anthemic opener to the blistering closer, Cartoon Darkness proves Amyl and the Sniffers are more than punk provocateurs; they're genuine artists with something to say.

2026 North American Tour Dates

The tour launches June 4 in Toronto and runs through June 20 in Minneapolis, hitting major markets including Philadelphia, Boston, Washington DC, St. Louis, and Chicago. The highlight? Their Red Rocks Amphitheatre debut on June 17—a bucket-list venue for any rock band.

This run represents their only 2026 North American headlining shows. After conquering Australian stadiums opening for AC/DC and selling out London's Alexandra Palace (9,912 tickets, $491,530 gross), they're bringing that same intensity to theaters and amphitheaters across the continent.

The Live Experience

An Amyl and the Sniffers show isn't a concert—it's controlled chaos. Amy Taylor prowls the stage like a caged animal finally set free, climbing speakers, diving into crowds, and demanding participation from every corner of the venue. The band locks into tight, aggressive grooves while Taylor unleashes her throat-shredding vocals and fearless stage presence.

Fan reviews tell the story: "Best concert experience in my 62 years!!" "A force of nature." "This show blew me away." Critics and audiences agree—this is rock and roll at its most visceral and vital.
