The Darkness announce Blackburn Tour Date

27th March 2017

The Darkness have announced a new UK tour with a November date at Blackburn's King George's Hall on Saturday 25th November 2017.

Announcing the tour, front man, Justin Hawkins, sent this message:

"Dear United of Kingdom people

"The Darkness is proud to return once again to the stages of our sceptered isle. We are here to confirm our reputation as the mightiest live band treading the boards in this saccharine age of music made by computers, millionaires and halfwits. Sometimes by all three! We will once again be showcasing our trademark mix of relentless rifferama, effortless haute couture, ridiculously loud noises and bright things that flash on and off.

"As any fool will tell you, a Darkness show is a place where believers come together, where fluids are shared, and dreams are built. But most importantly, where rock and roll is crowned king EVERY NIGHT!

"And as if that wasn't enough, we have made a frankly stunning fifth album that will be unleashed on the world in September of this year by the lovely Cooking Vinyl people. Good times… so come one, come all!!"

Tickets priced at £27.50 go on sale at 9am on Friday 31sy March 2017 from the box office at King George's Hall, through the website kinggeorgeshall.com or by phone on 0844 847 1664
