Following the release of their latest, critically-acclaimed studio album “Speed Of Darkness” in celebration of their 40th band anniversary last year (released via AFM Records), Danish hard rock icons D-A-D have teamed up with Finland’s dark rockers THE 69 EYES for the “COWPUNKS AND GLAMPIRES TOUR 2025″! With fifteen dates across Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, the co-headlining tour will kick off by the end of October in Budapest. Tickets are now on sale at: https://dragon-productions.eu/artist/d-a-d/
D-A-D comment: “Longtime friends, and heavy as hell. The 69 Eyes & D-A-D are joining forces for a solid tour through Europe We’ve been wanting to do this for years- both bands survived everything and came out stronger – join us for some massive evenings, together, out of the darkness!”
“Those guys were the early inspiration for us when we started the band”, THE 69 EYES state. “We heard the call of the wild and understood it. And share their wisdom: long hair is the key!”.

In 2024, hard rock legends D-A-D turned 40 years and were even honored with an exhibition at the National Museum of their hometown Copenhagen, but this was by no means the end of everything. The quartet is brimming with energy, and their latest album “Speed Of Darkness” sees the band rocking on stronger than ever! Rock Hard Magazine in Germany wrote, “it’s an album with no fillers, but full of hits”, while Norway Rock Magazine confirmed “D-A-D has delivered again – as they always do!” And Get Ready To Rock in the UK attested: “Album number 13 is a 14-track masterclass without a weak moment in sight. Danish legends D-A-D have recently celebrated their 40th anniversary and as new album “Speed of Darkness” proves, they sound as fresh as ever- in fact, all new bands should be handed a copy of this album and told this is what 40 sounds like!”
Following top album chart positions, a major festival summer run and an extensive European tour including a sold-out show at the Royal Arena in Denmark last year (that will be released as a 4 x vinyl/2 CD entitled “Live From The Arena” on Record Store Day, April 12nd via Warner Records Denmark) D-A-D are now joining forces with yet another iconic band hailing from the North!
When the sun goes down and the moon comes up Finnish goth glam ambassadors THE 69 EYES proudly wear their sunglasses, leather jackets and black eyeliner to become one with the night. Founded in the hazy, murky, twilit bars of Helsinki more than 30 years ago, the band circling around Scandinavian goth rock epitome Jyrki 69 has done exemplary service to all things dark, releasing thirteen revered albums, touring the world over, even going platinum in their home country, all the while maintaining a strong tie to the graveyard shift of rock’n’roll.
With an eclectic penchant for morbidity, glamour, sex and the supernatural, these nocturnal animals embody both the foggy essence of Scandinavian goth rock and the lusty decadence of Sunset Strip glam, haunting everyone from goth rock ghoul to metal dude, from glam rock cat to rockabilly fiend. It’s classy, it’s sexy, it’s raunchy, it’s dramatic: Their latest, fateful album “Death of Darkness” celebrated this unholy union with a new set of lovesongs to the darkness in all of us, proudly howling at the moon and sinking their fangs deep within our necks. Come, and have a drink with this killer tour package. The night is young and life is short!
