The Dreggs Open Their 2026 Tour at the Enmore

The Dreggs are the two blokes who covered A-ha's 'Take On Me' for Like A Version and somehow made it sound like a sunrise instead of a synth. They've since packed up for Nashville, put two songs in the Hottest 100, and are now coming home for their first proper national tour in over a year. Sydney gets first crack, at the Enmore, which is about as good as an opening night gets.

Here's the vibe, in case you need it:

The facts, up top

• Who: The Dreggs, an Australian folk-pop duo currently based in Nashville
• Where: Enmore Theatre, Sydney
• When: Thursday 1 October 2026, the opening night of the tour
• On-sale: now, from 10am AEST on 10 July, via thedreggs.komi.io

Sydney kicks it off, but the run covers most of the country:

Why now's a good time to catch them

The Dreggs are on a genuine run. Their sophomore album 'The Art Of Uncommon Practice' roped in Matt Corby, 'Give Myself To You' turned into a proper hit, and 2026 has already brought the singles 'Heading Home' and 'Golden Lights'. They've been touring the US, Europe and the UK, and they're squeezing in Americanafest in Nashville before flying back for this. Translation: the live show has had a lot of reps lately, and it shows.

How to actually get in

The Enmore is a Sydney institution and this is opening night, so it will move:

• Buy direct. thedreggs.komi.io is the official link, on sale from 10am AEST on 10 July. Which, if you're reading this the day it went up, is right about now. Go.
• Don't refresh. Queues don't reward reload-mashing, and some read it as bot behaviour. Sitting still is a skill I have finally mastered, purely by accident.
• Opening night is the one. The band's a month of shows away from road-weary, Sydney gets the first singalong, and the Enmore was built for exactly this.

My honest opinion: a homecoming show from a band that's been overseas hits different, because half the room has been waiting a year and the other half just found out they're back. Get in among it. If you want more live music near you, there's always more on Ticketted.

Two blokes, a folk-pop record, and a room full of people who've had 'Give Myself To You' stuck in their heads since 2022. Buy direct, get in early, and save your voice for the encore, because opening night crowds have a habit of borrowing it.
