Australian punk rock band Amyl and The Sniffers will take to the Heineken Stage at NOS Alive’25 on July 12.

Amyl and The Sniffers bring their new album to NOS Alive, Cartoon Darkness released on October 25th. The album, which was recorded with producer Nick Launay (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) at the Foo Fighters’ 606 Studios in Los Angeles, is “about the climate crisis, war, artificial intelligence, walking on the eggshells of politics and people feeling like they’re helping by having a voice online when really we’re just feeding the Big Tech data machine, our modern god. It’s about the fact that our generation is fed information. We look like adults, but we’re children forever encapsulated in a shell. We’re all passively swallowing distractions that don’t even cause pleasure, sensation or joy; they just cause numbness,” says Amy Taylor.

“Cartoon Darkness is plunging headlong into the unknown, into that looming outline of the future that looks terrible but doesn’t even exist yet. A childlike darkness. I don’t want to meet the devil halfway and lament what we have now. The future is a cartoon, the prescription is dark, but it’s new. It’s just a joke. It’s fun.” The band arrives at Passeio Marítimo de Algés on July 12, to perform on the Heineken Stage at NOS Alive’25
