Just over a month since releasing his first new music in a decade, the pulsing disco vibes of 'Let's Try Being In Love', Darren will headline concerts in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Gold Coast.
This tour will see Hayes celebrate 25 years since Savage Garden's eponymous debut album (which one a staggering 10 ARIA Awards) performing all their classics that have soundtracked multiple generations: 'To The Moon & Back', 'Truly Madly Deeply', 'I Want You', 'I Knew I Loved You' and 'Affirmation', as well as his string off solo hits: 'Insatiable', 'Pop!ular' and 'So Beautiful'.
Next week, Daren will release his second single (and tour namesake) of 2022 'Do You Remember?'.
"You never know how much you love something until it's taken away from you," Darren says.
"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."
This weekend, Darren headlines the Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade (5 March). Read our February cover story chat with him here.
"Last year, I was in awe, along with the rest of the world, as Australians united and came together safely to celebrate our vibrant and resilient community," Darren says.
"I decided in that moment, if this could happen again in 2022, I was going to do everything within my power to come home and celebrate with you.
"You can imagine how thrilled I am, truly, to have been chosen to close what I know will be an unforgettable and necessary night of pride and joy. I'm so looking forward to spending time together after so much time apart."
