The Darkness have announced dates for a fall tour of the UK and shows across Europe in the New Year in support of their forthcoming album, “Easter Is Cancelled.”
Due October 4, the band’s sixth record marks the follow-up to 2017's "Pinewood Smile", which was a Top 10 project in their native UK.
An 18-show UK and Ireland trek will begin in Belfast on November 26 and wrap up with a December 20 gig in London before the group takes a break for the seasonal holidays; they’ll return to live action for a month-long series of European concerts that will begin in Strasbourg, France on January 25.
“Easter Is Cancelled sees the four maestros embark upon their most ambitious quest to date with their musical opus soon to be thrust into the ear canals of rock fans around the globe, and a tour that will quite literally resurrect the souls of all who attend,” says the band. “Join The Darkness in their mission to take back control from the fools and liars who purport to lead us, and instead march forwards into the sunlit uplands of inclusivity, togetherness and rock’n’roll fellowship.”
A fan club presale in underway now, with general public tickets going on sale Friday, April 12 at 10 AM local time.
