Darren Hanlon - Xmas 2026
This year marks 21 years since Darren Hanlon began his infamous solo Christmas shows. Back in 2005 he decided to finish his year with just two shows, one at Sydney’s Mandarin Club and the other at the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne. It was meant to be a one off situation but each year it seemed to grow under its own steam.
This year he’s planned out yet another lap around the country playing in city pubs, bookshops, cinemas, churches and country halls, armed with his beat up old guitar, a road-worn banjo, and his ever growing collection of songs.
Last year's concert sold out and there's no reason to think that it will be any different this year; same prices as last year too.
