The Darkness Confirm UK And Ireland Shows For 'Permission To Land' 20th Anniversary Tour
Monday, 03 July 2023
Written by Jon Stickler
The Darkness have added UK and Ireland shows to their Permission To Land 20th Anniversary Tour.
Fresh from supporting the legendary Guns N' Roses at London's Hyde Park, the British rockers have announced shows for December, including stops in Belfast, Dublin, Norwich, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham and Wolverhampton. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday (July 7).
The run will follow the previously confirmed US leg of the trek, scheduled for October, and a European run, which will visit Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, France and the Netherlands between November 7 and 24. Tickets for those concerts are already on sale.
Each night will see The Darkness perform their 2003 debut in its entirety, including tracks such as Growing On Me, Love Is Only A Feeling and I Believe In A Thing Called Love. They'll also run through a number of fan favourites from other records, including songs from their most recent, 'Motorheart', released in 2021. Frontman Justin Hawkins said:
"We, The Darkness, are delighted to announce that we’ll be hitting the road in the U.K. once again. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of 'Permission To Land', our set will include every song from our debut album faithfully reproduced (with additional clam notes and meanderings) in the order in which they appear on the record. We’ll also play all of your favourite Darkness songs from the rest of our illustrious and tipsy turvy career. It will be the best show you’ll see this year. I should know, I’m the singer and also a YouTube music expert."
A deluxe expanded edition of 'Permission To Land', dubbed 'Permission to Land…Again', is expected to arrive later in 2023 via Warner Music, though further details are still to be revealed.
NEW // Dig out your tightest catsuit from the back of your wardrobe: @thedarkness will be celebrating 20 years(!) of 'Permission To Land' with a run of UK/IE shows this December!
