Amyl and the Sniffers – with special guests Mannequin Pussy announced for The National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks

The announcement follows the success of Amyl and the Sniffers at the recent 2025 ARIA Awards (Australia), where the band won in four categories including Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album for their acclaimed 2024 LP Cartoon Darkness, alongside Best Group and Best Cover Art. This triumph came shortly after the band received its first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance.

Recorded with producer Nick Launay at Foo Fighters’ 606 Studios in Los Angeles, on the same desk that captured Nirvana’s Nevermind and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Cartoon Darkness is full of surprises, stretching from classic punk to glammy strut, broadening the band’s horizons exponentially in every way. It’s this attitude – bigger, brighter, smarter, sharper – that fuels third album, ‘Cartoon Darkness’.

In the eight years since Amyl and The Sniffers came together in Melbourne’s sticky pub-rock scene, the band have become masters of balancing power and playfulness, hailed as ‘Pure, uncut rock’n’roll fun’ (Pitchfork).
 

From grassroots clubs shows to major concert halls, the band has become a regular mainstage and headline feature of festivals including Primavera, Glastonbury, Coachella, Green Man, Osheaga, Outside Lands, Best Keep Secret, All Points East and dozens more; and been called up for European and US stadium supports with the likes of Green Day and Foo Fighters.

Singular Artists today announces Amyl and the Sniffers with special guests Mannequin Pussy for next year’s Wider Than Pictures concert series, taking place at The National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, Dublin on Tuesday, 25th August 2026.
 

Tickets are €54.85 plus booking fee and service charges, on sale Friday, the 28th of November at 10am from ticketmaster.ie and singularartists.ie
 

Amyl and the Sniffers with special guests Mannequin Pussy is the second show to be announced for 2026’s Wider Than Pictures, joining the previously-announced Mac DeMarco (29 August 2026) for the concert series, which will be entering its fifth year next summer.
