HOTHOUSE FLOWERS
IRISH ICONS FIRST AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND TOUR
In Over Two Decades Announced For February, 2026
Renowned for their explosive blend of rock ‘n’ roll, Irish folk
and American gospel, Ireland’s legendary HOTHOUSE FLOWERS, are set
to return to Australia for the FIRST TIME IN 20 LONG YEARS FOR A
HIGHLY ANTICIPATED TOUR IN FEBRUARY 2026.
The Dubliner's passionate fusion of rock, folk and gospel has
captivated audiences worldwide for the last four decades. From their
humble street performing roots in Dublin to global stages, the band
continues to deliver electrifying performances that blend cultural
storytelling and raw musical spirit with spontaneity and soulful
energy.
After winning the Street Entertainers of the Year award in 1985, the
band caught the eye of U2’s Bono, leading to a record deal with
PolyGram. Their 1988 debut album, People, topped the Irish charts and
hit number two in the UK, establishing them as a captivating live band
with a dedicated global fanbase. The album features their highest
streaming single to date, the utterly sublime, Don't Go.
Home followed in 1990 and featured the band’s gorgeous cover of the
Johnny Nash classic, I Can See Clearly Now, which was given a new
lease of life and used to stunning affect in the opening scene of
2016's Jeremy Clarkson's Grand Tour TV show. Watch the
incredible intro here

93’s Songs From the Rain cemented the bands place as one Ireland’s
greats. The AUSTRALIAN TOUR FOLLOWS THE RELEASE OF THEIR LATEST ALBUM,
Let’s Do This Thing (2020)
Known for their unpredictable energy and impromptu improvisation,
every HOTHOUSE FLOWERS SHOW IS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. From rock anthems to
soulful ballads and traditional songs that evoke the emotional weight
of Irish storytelling, the band’s performances are a journey through
musical and cultural landscapes. Their shows are marked by humour, raw
expression and a deep connection with audiences, making each gig a one
of a kind event.
