TISM - Darwin Festival

You'll never see another band like TISM – a mind-bending collision of highbrow and lowbrow, poetry and profanity, choreography and chaos, and a playlist full of giant, singalong anthems skewering modern life with a wink.

Emerging in the late 80s, the often balaclava-clad group have explored dance, pop, rock and caustic wit amongst other musical delights, spanning seven studio albums, countless award nominations and two ARIA Award wins, millions of streams and a live performance reputation that truly has to be seen to be believed.

They were Australia's biggest cult band of all time when they left Darwin wrecked in their wake 30 years ago. Finally they're back – as frantic, frightening and funny as ever.

As if this show couldn't get any wilder, the legendary Swamp Jockeys will emerge from deep in the Humpty Doo speargrass to crank out some of their ridge-country classics as support act.
