Darren Hayes

Sidney Myer Music Bowl

Darren Hayes is one of the greatest singer-songwriter/performers this country has ever produced.

In February 2023, he will return to Australian stages for the first time in over a decade, with his Do You Remember? Tour – 25 Years of Savage Garden, Solo Hits And More! Darren will showcase an extraordinary catalogue of smash hits, which span a remarkable four decades.

Darren’s return to the stage is sure to remind Australian audiences that this national treasure is not only a prolific hitmaker, but also a consummate performer. With a setlist honouring a quarter-century of hits, Darren will perform a mix of classic fan favourites and new solo material while also paying special tribute to the 25th anniversary of Savage Garden’s chart-topping, self-titled debut album in a pop show specifically designed to bring crowds to their feet.

The Do You Remember? Tour production was created by U2’s legendary show director Willie Williams and will see Darren reuniting with members of his original touring band from 1996.

Fans will embark on a journey from the first time they ever heard the phrase ‘Chica Cherry Cola’ all the way through to the present day. And Darren promises to deliver the perfect mix of nostalgia and modernity, performing his songs with the emotional depth and theatricality they so richly deserve.

One of Australia’s most loved acts from the 90s, Bachelor Girl, will join the tour in Australia.

Darren said: “Like many Australians my age, I feel like I grew up with Bachelor Girl. Their songs are the soundtrack to growing up in the 90s. Having Tania and James come out on the road with me is a real treat and the perfect compliment to a tour that is all about remembering the good times. I can’t wait to sing along from side of stage.”
