Cult band TISM return to the NT for the 2026 Darwin Festival. TISM last played Darwin in 1996, their only gig there to date. The photo shows one member of TISM, dressed in bright red overalls and a matching balaclava, launching himself off the stage towards the crowd; fans stand ready to catch him, arms upraised, behind the crowd barrier. Another TISM member, also dressed in red overalls but wearing a red balaclava and red, rooster-like crest, watches on from the stage.
