Former Savage Garden front man Darren Hayes announces Liverpool date on UK tour

Australian singer songwriter Darren Hayes has announced 4 live shows in the UK ahead of the October release of his brand new studio album Secret Codes & Battleships.

The tour dates, which go on sale on July 24th, will be the first full scale UK performances since Darren’s sold out Royal Albert Hall show in 2007.

As one half of pop duo Savage Garden and then a successful solo artist, Darren Hayes has been responsible for over 26 million album sales worldwide including two U.S No. 1 hits.

Currently, Hayes' latest single ‘Talk Talk Talk’, the first to be released from the forthcoming album, is enjoying huge airplay on UK and Australian radio.

Earlier this month, the massive hit ‘Truly Madly Deeply’ was announced by U.S Billboard Magazine as The No.1 A.C song of all time - ahead of hits by the likes of Elton John and the Bee Gees.

The new album Secret Codes And Battleships was recorded in Stockholm, Los Angeles, Sydney and Darren's home studio in London. He has collaborated with Swedish writer/producer Carl Falk (Nicole Sherzinger/The Wanted); writers Steve Robson (Taylor Swift/Leona Lewis) and Phil Thornalley (Pixie Lott/Natalie Imbruglia), plus Australia-based, long-term collaborators Justin Shave (Fatboy Slim) and Robert Conley (Amy Meredith). There are reunions with both the multi Grammy Award winning maestro Walter Afanasieff, who produced Savage Garden's Affirmation album and Darren's Spin, and Rex Goh, Savage Garden's long-term guitarist. The album was mixed by Robert Orton (Lady Gaga) and mastered by Bob Ludwig.

Darren says: "The album is about holding on to love as everyone around you is breaking up. But it’s also about holding on to hope when you’ve lost direction."

Hayes will be showcasing both new material and performing hits from his catalogue on the tour.
