Sparks Tickets

Right now, legendary pop pioneers Sparks are enjoying a huge resurgence, with levels of interest in their work at heights unsurpassed in their 50+ year career.

For the first time since 2001, LA pop rock duo Sparks bring their creative genius and singularly spectacular live show to Australia, to perform headline shows at some of the most beautiful theatres in the country, including the iconic Melbourne’s Palais Theatre and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall.

Just like their incredible 50-year history, their fan base spans generations. While some fans have been with Sparks since the very beginning, others have more recently discovered them via their 2021 career-spanning documentary, The Sparks Brothers, a musical odyssey directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver) which takes you through five weird and wonderful decades of Ron and Russell Mael, and has since reached cult status.

Now into their sixth decade of making music, Sparks have never been more relevant. Once again Top 10 regulars, with studio albums Hippopotamus (2017) A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip (2020), The Girl Is Crying in Her Latte (2023) all reaching No.7 in the UK and receiving global acclaim.

To coincide with the release of their 26th album, the bold, genre-defying master-piece, The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte, Ron and Russell Mael have taken to the road for a world tour that has included two sold out headline shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, performances at Primavera Sound Festival and the largest headline show of the band’s career at the world-famous Hollywood Bowl, as well as an appearance on the much revered NPR Tiny Desk Concert.

Now, excited to return to Australia, Ron and Russell Mael tell us that ‘2023 has been an amazing year in Sparks’ world. Not only the fantastic reception to our latest album The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte, but seeing all our exuberant fans at every stop on our world tour. And now that world has gotten bigger. We’re headed to Australia for four shows to culminate the year. We’ve played many iconic venues this year and now we’re happy to add the Sydney Opera House to that list. Also, we’re coming for first time performances in Adelaide and Brisbane, along with a return to Melbourne after 22 years. We look forward to seeing all our Australian fans very soon Down Under!’
