Kinks brothers exhibition sparks reunion speculation

In late July 2026 the Davies brothers, founders of the 1960s British rock group The Kinks, opened a joint art exhibition in London titled “The Kinks: Brothers.” The show, co‑curated with painter Christian Furr and featuring mixed‑media reinterpretations of a 1968 passport‑photo portrait, highlighted the brothers’ renewed personal relationship. Ray Davies indicated he has unfinished Kinks songs that include contributions from Dave and former drummer Mick Avory, and both brothers suggested a full‑stage reunion remains possible, though no concrete plans were announced.

At the exhibition’s opening, guitarist Dave Davies recalled the historic rivalry between The Kinks and The Beatles, praising members of the Fab Four while confirming his ongoing fandom. His remarks, shared on social media, reinforced the exhibition’s focus on the band’s legacy but did not alter the tentative nature of any reunion, leaving fans to watch for future developments.
