GYPSY PISTOLEROS – Dark Faerie Tales New Album & U.K. Tour 2026

The world’s only Glam Punk Goth ’n’ Roll outlaws return with their most ambitious and eclectic album yet — Dark Faerie Tales, out April 17th, 2026 on The New Church Records / Plastichead Distribution. Available worldwide & instore on three-colour vinyl, digipak CD, and digital. Accompanied by the announcement of initial U.K 2026 Tour to back the release!

Following the success of Church of the Pistoleros — hailed as one of 2025’s most fearless and eclectic rock albums — the Pistoleros have conjured something even bolder: a dark fairytale for the damned, a love letter to the beautiful and broken, and a twisted hymn for the strange of heart.

Born from the fires of their own mythologyDark Faerie Tales drifts through haunted woods and neon dreams — where sleaze-drenched punk anthems meet gothic grandeur, and glam swagger burns with outlaw soul. Produced and co-written once again by sonic alchemist Dave Draper (Michael Monroe, Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, Elvana, Therapy, etc), it’s a record that breathes rebellion and myth.

The Cult Lives On

Gypsy Pistoleros’ live shows are gothic theatre, glam-punk ritual, and unmissable rock spectacle. From Rebellion to Planet Rockstock, they’re ready for their biggest UK headline run yet.

Expect:


• Sleaze-drenched punk anthems & gothic theatrics
• For fans of Alice Cooper, YUNGBLUD, GHOST, The Cult, The Damned, Hanoi Rocks, Killing Joke
• A wild, theatrical experience — part gothic carnival, part rock ’n’ roll ritual

Dark Faerie Tales – From Myth to Magic

Once upon a twisted dusk, in a desert where gods had lost their names, stood the Church of the Pistoleros — built from shattered guitars, broken hearts, and outlaw fire. It burned… but from the ashes rose a new cult, born of chaos and dreaming in half-remembered hymns.

Now, Gypsy Pistoleros sing under starlight in tangled woods where belief is rhythm, glitter, and spellwork — legends in apocalyptic fur, crowned in scars, howling at the dark.

The Dark Faerie Tales begin — April 16th, 2026 at The Underworld, London. Press Launch!
