The Kooks announce return to Australia for 2025 Headline Tour

Good news for fans of The Kooks who have been heartbroken since their death Australian tour plans for 2024 were derailed by the cancellation of Groovin The Moo. The beloved British indie rockers are coming to visit us for a stack of live shows in 2025.

As well as gracing the line-ups for Tasmania Party in the paddock And Wollongong’s Yours & Owls Festival The Kooks have also announced a five-day schedule of headline shows in mainland Australia early next year.

The Kooks – ‘Cold heart’

They’ll be bringing their arsenal of hits to fans in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth in February and March, featuring the American singer-songwriter Briston Maroney on supporting tasks.

It marks The Kooks’ biggest Australian tour to date, following a sold-out 2022 edition celebrating the 15th anniversary of their debut album Inside/inside out.
