    Multi-platinum UK rock royalty The Darkness are set to make their  triumphant return to Australia in February 2026 with an epic run of summer  shows in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart,  Fremantle, Frankston, and Melbourne.
Following their massive 2024 Permission To Land 20th anniversary  tour, the band are bringing their signature high-voltage energy and outrageous  fun back to stages, serving up fan favourites like I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Love Is Only A Feeling, alongside new tracks from their latest  album Dreams On Toast, including I Hate Myself and The Longest Kiss. This tour marks the first chance for fans to hear  the new songs live.
Exploding onto the scene in 2003 with  their now-classic debut Permission To  Land, The Darkness quickly became one of the UK's most beloved rock bands, racking up over 1.5 million album sales, a headline set at Reading & Leeds  in 2004, and a string of major awards including BRITs, Kerrang!, and an Ivor  Novell.
The band's cheeky, spandex-clad  anthems changed the face of British rock and continue to capture hearts and a  new generation of fans around the world. Their live shows are pure spectacle:  soaring falsettos, outrageous outfits, endless guitar solos, and crowds belting  out every word. Don't miss your chance to experience it all live in 2026 - it's  bold, loud, and gloriously over-the-top fun.
