Australian country-pop powerhouse Tori Darke, who is set to make her UK debut at Country Calling Festival this Sunday, 16th August. One of Australia’s most exciting emerging country voices, Tori is known for her powerhouse vocals, fearless storytelling and magnetic live presence, and we’re excited to have her here in the UK for the first time.

Her UK debut follows a huge year for Tori, including performances at CMA Fest and Country Jam in the US, as well as the release of her latest single, ‘Prettiest Wreck’ a post-breakup anthem co-written with fellow Australians The Wolfe Brothers. This brand new single ‘Prettiest Wreck’ is a full-throated girls’ anthem for every woman who has ever held it together on the outside while quietly falling apart within. This is THE song you put on when the heartbreak hits hardest and you still refuse to let him see you break

Tori and her co-writers have bottled that very specific post-breakup bravado: taking his photos off the wall, packing up his things, and then pulling on your best dress and walking out the door anyway – even when you still feel like a mess on the inside. “I’ll be the prettiest wreck you’ve ever seen,” she declares in the chorus, capturing the defiant dignity of a woman who refuses to let heartbreak have the last word.

“This song I wrote as a girls’ anthem, a song truly for the girls,” explains Darke. “If you’ve ever had a broken heart and needed a song to scream at the top of your lungs, ‘Prettiest Wreck’ is that song.” Hot on the heels of ‘You Better Think’, Tori is riding serious momentum into the second half of 2026 with debut performances at three major international festivals including CMA Fest and Country Jam in the US and Country Calling in the UK on the 16th August. 

With an ever-growing fanbase, a fearless approach to storytelling, and a career accelerating with every release, Tori Darke is not just making her mark — she’s redefining what it means to be a modern Australian country artist.
