The glam punk goth ‘n’ roll outlaws Gypsy Pistoleros will release Dark Faerie Tales, their “most ambitious and eclectic album yet,” on 17 April 2026, along with their biggest UK headline tour to date.
Following the success of their previous album Church Of The Pistoleros, Gypsy Pistoleros have conjured something even bolder. Dark Faerie Tales is 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 mythology, Dark Faerie Tales drifts through haunted woods and neon dreams,” the band said, “where sleaze-drenched punk anthems meet gothic grandeur, and glam swagger burns with outlaw soul.”
Dark Faerie Tales has been produced and co-written once again by sonic alchemist Dave Draper (Michael Monroe, Ginger Wildheart, The Wildhearts, Ryan Hamilton, Elvana, Therapy). “It’s a record that breathes rebellion and myth,” the Pistoleros said.
We expect the first single, Dark Faerie Tales, to be released in late January 2026, when pre-orders will be available. The album will be released via The New Church Records / Plastichead Distribution and will be available worldwide and in-store on three-colour vinyl, digipak CD, and digital.
Gypsy Pistoleros – Dark Faerie Tales – From Myth to Magic
“Once upon a twisted dusk,” the band say, “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 at The Band Club, St Austell, on 11 April 2026, with a press launch at The Underworld on 16 April 2026.
The band play Breaking Bands Festival, Droitwich, on 23 May, Beltane Gathering Festival, Wales, over 1-2 May, and a festival appearance to be confirmed on 9 May 2026.
Tickets and pre-orders will be available from gypsypistoleros.com.
