Amyl & The Sniffers announce biggest show yet at London’s Alexandra Palace
Amyl & The Sniffers have announced details of their biggest show to date, taking place at Alexandra Palace next year. Find ticket details below.
The announcement comes as the band are gearing up to release their first new album in three years, ‘Cartoon Darkness’ later this month (October 25), and embark on a UK tour in November.
Now, to celebrate the upcoming release – which will be their third studio album and the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Comfort To Me’ – the Aussie punk group have shared details of a new 2025 UK show.

In a press release shared for ‘Cartoon Darkness’ earlier this summer, frontwoman Amy Taylor explains that the album is “climate crisis, war, AI, tiptoeing on the eggshells of politics, and people feeling like they’re helping by having a voice online when we’re all just feeding the data beast of Big Tech, our modern-day god.”
The band recorded the record with producer Nick Launay, known for his engineering work for post-punk bands such as Public Image Ltd., The Slits, and Gang of Four. In recent years, he’s worked on albums by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and IDLES.
The latest single, ‘Chewing Gum’ marks the album’s second preview, following last May’s ‘U Should Not Be Doing That’. Pre-order the album here.
Following the release of their second album ‘Comfort To Me‘, the band also dropped a B-side called ‘Facts’.
NME last spoke to Amyl & The Sniffers back in 2021, where Taylor spoke about how ‘Comfort To Me’ addressed the political environment Australians were facing in the summer of 2019.
“‘Capital’ is about how many people are left on the outskirts of society without any help – especially none from fucking Scott Morrison, the absolute tosser,” she told NME. “We’re all getting taxed to buggery and getting nothing in return. In bushfire season he gave nobody a helping hand.
“I’m not that well educated about politics, but during bushfire season all of the Indigenous people had advanced backburning set-ups and the government just ignored that. Also, Indigenous incarceration rates are off the fucking Richter scale.”
In a four-star review of ‘Comfort To Me‘, NME shared: “When the band rally against being pigeonholed on ‘Don’t Fence Me In’, it feels like they’ve finally escaped this fate – sure, they can still pull a decent pint of pub rock, but ‘Comfort To Me’ serves as proof that there’s far more to them than just that.”
