The film will be based around their intimate performance there, played eight days after their second Coachella performance last year. While being completely saturated in the traditional songs and lyrics of Amyl and The Sniffers, the band reworks some of their most famous hits in the country genre. Fans can anticipate a fresh sound for some of their favourite tracks, such as ‘Big Dreams’, ‘Jerkin’’ and ‘Hertz’.
The film will be shown internationally at limited screenings, with a high concentration of these being in the UK, Australia and North America. So, those in Berlin, Madrid, Paris and Sao Paulo will have to snatch up tickets as quickly as possible. The full list of screenings can be found here.
Alongside the concert film, a limited vinyl press will also be available including the full 13-track set from the film. The cover art for the vinyl will don some of the work of illustrator and artist Luke Player, a long-time collaborator that will be familiar to the eyes of fans due to his recent work on their 2026 tour merchandise. Fans may also recognise him from his time in The Pinheads, a fellow Australian band that took Amyl and The Sniffers on an Australian tour during their debut year, over a decade ago when they first formed the group past their flatmate status.
Since their debut, the band has represented anti-regime sentiments and female empowerment, with a cheeky flair from the strong female front-facing Amy Taylor. They have stood as the epitome of true punk values in a working-class Australian style, drawing from an Australian sub-culture formed in the 60s and 70s- members of which were known as ‘Sharpies’.
This representation has spanned over multiple DIY EPs and three albums, from their self-titled, to their most recent album ‘Cartoon Darkness’. The latter propelled them even further into the punk limelight, following the success of their second album, ‘Comfort to Me’. While both albums differ in genre, 'Cartoon Darkness' saw the band transition into a less harsh sound and into post-punk. The album was produced by Nick Launay, with the band's guitarist, Declan Mehrtens, contributing his softer musical taste to its sound.
From performing in grassroots venues all over their home country, to accepting an ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Music Awards) in 2019 for Best Rock Album decked out in Gucci, the group were propelled into international fame only slightly post debut album. Later reliving this moment in 2022, when they won the same award for their second album.
Referencing their grassroots history once more, their name is a direct nod to the party drugs of the scene they grew within, with Amyl doubling down as both a pun for Amy Taylor's name as well as representing what is commonly known as ‘Poppers’ in the party scene.
Performing at an array of international concerts, festivals such as Coachella and Glastonbury, as well as supporting bands like Foo Fighters, Weezer, The Smashing Pumpkins and AC/DC in concert, Amyl and The Sniffers have seen no comedown. With this epic feat for the band, they have stood tall and garnered support for their strong beliefs in feminism, the people of Gaza and Ukraine and immigration at many major shows.
The success of the band is a testament to the lives lived by each member. Hard work and a familiarity with what makes people human bleeds into every song they write and every performance they innovate. Handcrafted from their songs to the outfits Amy Taylor performs in.
Catch the film in many smaller picture houses all over the world at the end of August, and prepare for the vinyl release on September 4th by pre-ordering it on Bandcamp.
