The Darkness have announced a UK arena tour, taking place in December 2026.
Their largest headline tour in two decades, they’ll be joined by American country rock band Brothers Osborne and legendary UK rock band A.
The tour will kick off at Glasgow OVO Hydro on December 08 and finish with the band’s debut headline performance at The O2 in London on December 16.
General ticket sales will begin on Friday November 28 at 10am GMT.
Speaking on the announcement, The Darkness’ Justin Hawkins has said:
“Powerful rock was designed to be played in huge rectangular buildings. 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 O2 Arena…
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?”

Following the arrival of their eighth studio album ‘Dreams On Toast’ earlier this year, The Darkenss are also set to perform at the legendary Knebworth Park with Iron Maiden on July 11.
