Multi-platinum UK rock legends The Darkness – singer/guitarist Justin Hawkins, guitarist Dan Hawkins, bassist Frankie Poullain, drummer Rufus Taylor – have announced North American tour dates in support of their new album, Dreams On Toast, released on March 28 via Cooking Vinyl.
The Darkness will ignite stages across North America on their two-part Dreams On Toast Tour kicking off on August 29 in Pryor, Oklahoma through September 21 that resumes on November 7 in Houston, Texas and wraps on November 22. Tour pre-sale starts Wednesday, April 16 at 10 AM, local time, and general on-sale commences Friday, April 18 at 10 AM, local time here.
Highly praised by critics and fans, Dreams On Toast flawlessly captures The Darkness at their peak, celebrating their influences and strengthening their sound, while also embarking on avenues never before heard from the band. It’s an indisputably grand display from the inspired and passionate quartet. Purchase Dreams On Toast here.
With a back catalogue overflowing with sonic masterpieces and a live reputation that most bands can only dream of, The Darkness have established themselves as one of the most exciting live bands. More than 20 years after The Darkness burst on the scene with their debut confection of rock brilliance, Permission To Land, the band’s cheeky, spandex-clad anthems continue to dazzle and amaze. With Dreams On Toast, The Darkness produced another triumphant collection of solid gold rock bangers and are set to deliver heart exploding concerts that promise to be glorious spectacles of foot-stomping, guitar-wailing, high-octane joy.
