Glam rock legends, The Darkness have confirmed their eighth studio album, Dreams On Toast, and a huge UK tour for March 2025.
The new album will be released via Cooking Vinyl in the same month, and tickets for the tour go on sale this week.
The lead single ‘The Longest Kiss’ is also out now, giving fans an early taste of what to expect from the new chapter of The Darkness.
Frontman, Justin Hawkins commented: “You know that thing when God’s breath tickles your soul and tells you to create? Yeah, makes me giggle too. But you can’t resist.
“God might not be the power she once was, but say what you like about her, she knows damn well that what the world needs now, is rock sweet rock. And who are we, mere mortals of extraordinary ability, to argue with the divine?”
The Dreams On Toast UK headline tour will see the band play 17 shows across the country.
Northern Irish indie veterans, Ash, who supported The Darkness on their iconic ‘Permission To Land Tour’ over 20 years ago, will return as special guests.
Ash commented: “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!”
Fans who pre-order Dreams On Toast from the band’s official store at www.thedarknesslive.com/ will receive access to a pre-sale for the March UK tour.
The pre-sale, including VIP upgrades, will open at 10am on Wednesday, September 25th and will remain live until any remaining tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, September 27th.
