The Kooks Announce Return To Australia For 2025 Headline Tour & Festies

Good news for fans of The Kooks who’ve been heartbroken since their 2024 Aussie tour plans were derailed by the cancellation of Groovin The Moo. The beloved UK indie-rockers are paying us a visit for a stack of live shows in 2025.

As well as gracing the lineups for Tasmania’s Party In The Paddock and Wollongong’s Yours & Owls Festival early next year, The Kooks have also announced a five-date itinerary of headline shows across mainland Australia.

The Kooks – ‘Cold Heart’

They’ll be bringing their arsenal of hits to fans in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth this February and March, with US singer-songwriter Briston Maroney on support duties.

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

You can suss all the dates and details down below.
