The Darkness have lined up a 17-date UK tour for March 2025 in support of their new studio album ‘Dreams on Toast.’
Justin Hawkins, Dan Hawkins, Frankie Poullain and Rufus Tiger Taylor kick off their lengthy jaunt at Ipswich Regent Theatre on Friday 7th March and wrap it up with a huge show at the 12,500-capacity London OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday 29th March.
The Darkness also visit Oxford, Swansea, Guildford, Hull, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, York, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Bristol, Portsmouth, Leicester, and Cambridge.
Support on all dates comes from Northern Irish indie-rockers Ash, who previously toured with The Darkness on the ‘Permission to Land’ tour in 2004.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 27th September.
The run of shows bracket the Friday 28th March release of The Darkness’ eighth studio album ‘Dreams on Toast,’ the band’s first record since 2021’s ‘Motorheart.’
Commenting on touring with The Darkness, Ash’s Tim Wheeler says:
The Darkness’ UK tour dates with special guests Ash: “In 2004 we toured the UK’s arenas with The Darkness as ‘Permission to Land’ catapulted them into the big league. Next March, 21 years later, we will reunite to tear across Britain before an epic crescendo at Wembley Arena. We believe in a thing called Rock!”
