Darling Boy’s original concert tour ran from summer 2023 through January 2024. From sold-out festival stages to sunny Santa Monica and shimmering Tinseltown, Darling Boy delivered his catchy style of royal rebellion at every show.
Darling Boy: Live! At Coachella
The tour kicked off at the 2023 Hollywood Fringe Festival, where the musical premiered under its original title Prince Harry: Live! At Coachella. Audiences demanded more, critics cheered, and it sold out. The musical received both the Pick of the Fringe and Hollywood Encore! Producers’ Awards (which extended the initial run), and was nominated for Best Musical.

Next stop: the 8th Annual BFF Binge Fringe Festival (October 15–November 19, 2023). Darling Boy and the Montecito Rebels, alongside Tungsten, Pa, DJ Press Pool, and Prophet, lit up the Santa Monica stage, proving that royal pop can rock just as hard as any mainstream sensation.
