One-time Savage Garden frontman and king of this year's Mardi Gras Darren Hayes has announced his first Australian tour in over a decade today with six big dates around Australia. 

Titled 'Do You Remember - 25 Years of Savage Garden, Solo Hits & More', the shows will be an amazing nostalgia trip through the Brisbane band's biggest hits including To The Moon & Back, Truly Madly Deeply, I Knew I Loved You, I Want You and so many more. Hayes will also break out his lesser hit, but equally banging solo material including Pop!ular and Insatiable

Easily one of the country's most decorated artists of all time, since the world first uttered 'chicka cherry cola' Savage Garden and Hayes have clocked up 30 million albums sold globally, 2x chart-topping singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, 14x ARIA Awards, 10x APRA songwriting awards, 5x Top 10 albums and 9x Top 10 singles.

"You never know how much you love something until it’s taken away from you,” Darren Hayes said. “After almost a decade out of the spotlight and all this time in lockdown I found myself really missing the electric feeling that only a live audience can bring. After 25 years in the music industry, I feel like we've grown up together. To sing these songs again after all we’ve been through is going to feel like a family reunion. I’m beyond excited to return. Whether you bought the first Savage Garden album on cassette or you’re a diehard fan of my solo work, I want to offer an escape. Come to remember, come to forget, come to fall in love.”

Aww Dazza! You always did have a way to melt our hearts.
