Wrapping up at The O2 in London, The Darkness will embark on their massive Band Of Brothers arena tour next December.
The Darkness have just announced details of their biggest UK tour in 20 years.
Stopping off in seven huge venues next December, the rock’n’roll kings will hit Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Brighton and London with Brothers Osborne and A. These shows will, of course, follow their equally-mega support slot with Iron Maiden at Knebworth in July.
“Powerful rock was designed to be played in huge rectangular buildings,” explains frontman Justin Hawkins. “Huge rectangular buildings were designed to house powerful rock bands. The Darkness are a powerful rock band and the arenas listed below are huge rectangular buildings. Except for the exception which proves the rule. Thank you The O2…
“In December 2026 this elegantly logical proposition will become a reality, driven by three bands consisting of seven brothers. Three of them are Perrys, from Lowestoft’s A. Two of them are Osbornes, from the Brothers Osborne. And two of them are my brother Dan and I. The Darkness, Brothers Osborne and A, veritable Bands Of Brothers, rocking in a huge rectangular – or domed – building. What could be more powerful than that?”
Tickets go on general sale next Friday, November 28 from 10am.
