Introducing Darkside Kings
Darkside Kings was established in 2021. The brand was built from personal experience of falling into the Darkside, alongside wanting to help others we created a safe community environment to help people understand that
IT’S OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY.
Our mission and logo are a beacon, showing others they can become a KING with the right help, love & support. Darkside Kings is CERTIFIED with Beyond Blue, which allows us to host events, driving awareness and breaking the stigma for Men’s Mental Health because
IT’S NOT WEAK TO SPEAK.

Last Year's Event
Darkside Kings held its 2nd annual Bike and Car Show Event on the 15th June 2024, raising a HUGE $10,000 for Men’s Mental Health, helping 157 people in desperate need through Beyond Blue. The massive support from the local community and businesses was unbelievable, the place was packed with over 90 vehicles and thousands of people.
This event brought people from all walks of society together to have a chat and some family fun. The community were extremely supportive for what Darkside Kings was promoting and what we stand for….
Breaking the stigma for Men’s Mental Health.

2026 Darkside kings Bike & Car Show
This year's Bike and Car Show will be full of activities and fun for the whole family. There will be Major prize raffles, Games, Free jumping castle for kids, and Great food, along with live music from local artists of the Gladstone region.
Funds raised go towards supporting Beyond Blue’s work improving the lives of individuals, families, and communities affected by anxiety, depression, and suicide. Right now, over one million people in Australia have depression, and two million are experiencing anxiety.
On average, eight people take their own lives every day in Australia.
Our goal is to raise funds that will go towards helping Beyond Blue and other organisations keep up with demand for their 24/7 Support Services and contribute to developing and delivering innovative, evidence-based services, programs, information resources, and campaigns to tackle anxiety, depression, and suicide.
