– Sweet Chaos Tour: First Show –
Damian and his brilliant band of musicians kicked off gig number one on their Sweet Chaos UK Tour in Portsmouth, England at Wedgewood Rooms Southsea venue on Friday, October 2, 2026 in support of his sophomore album Sweet Chaos that released back in June.
It was a fun, fantastic crowd that Damian referred to as a bunch of bloody pirates 😆 At some point during the evening, Damian even played the keys. Fans report the venue was absolutely fab and Damian was charming, chatty, and charismatic – a total 10 out of 10. It was a happening time!
The band played ‘Traffic Jam’ and the title track ‘Sweet Chaos’ from the new album, as well as a few songs from Damian’s first album Mission Creep, such as, ‘Down on the Bowery’ and ‘Wanna Grow Old In Paris.’ We’re told the last four songs of the gig were EPIC!
