Melodic Hard Rockers Tyketto Announce First-Ever Australian Headline Tour
After leaving audiences mesmerised during their debut Australian performances at GlamFest in 2024, melodic hard rock band Tyketto is returning Down Under for their first-ever headline tour.
Led by one of the biggest voices in the genre, Danny Vaughn, the band has built a reputation on well crafted anthems and powerhouse performances. It has been almost thirty four years since the band hit the scene with their sparkling debut album, “Don’t Come Easy”. Regarded amongst fans as an underground classic, the album features the iconic tracks: "Forever Young” and “Seasons”. Released in 1991, at a time when melodic hard rock was falling into the shadows of the new grunge movement, the album was sonically regarded as sitting somewhere between Bon Jovi and Whitesnake.
Subsequent releases included “Strength In Numbers” (1994), “Shine” (1995), “Dig Deep” (2012) and “Reach” (2016). It is, however, on the live front that the band seriously shines with soaring vocals, unforgettable riffs, and a connection with fans that few bands can replicate.

“Danny Vaughn’s vocals are flawless”. - The Rockpit
The band currently features Vaughn on vocals, ex Britney Fox and current Doro band member, Johnny Dee, on drums, bassist Chris Childs, keyboardist Ged Rylands and the youthful Harry Scott Elliot on guitars.
This tour marks the first opportunity for Australian fans to experience a full headline set from Tyketto. Following their explosive GlamFest debut, demand has been sky-high for a return visit. With their mix of powerful ballads and stadium-shaking rockers, Tyketto’s live show is a celebration of everything that makes melodic hard rock timeless.
On the tour, Silverback Touring says: “Fans got a taste of what the Tyketto live experience was like earlier this year and they were the talk of Glamfest. After 30 years they finally made it to Australia but now they are back to knock it out the park with their first ever headline shows which are not to be missed”.
Fans of the melodic rock genre and electrifying live performances won’t want to miss out.
