The iconic band have returned to bedazzle and amaze rock fanatics once again as they serve up their eighth studio as well as a lengthy run of UK dates.

A lavish display of sonic delicacies, the band’s new album, Dreams On Toast, is a dynamic dish jam-packed of sure-to-be bits. The lead single ‘The Longest Kiss’ is out today and demonstrates this perfectly: an upbeat pop classic that tips its hat to such 70s pop icons as Queen and Paul McCartney – do not miss out!

More than 20 years since The Darkness exploded onto the scene and changed the face of British rock with their cheeky, spandex-clad anthems still capturing hearts and a new generation of fans. None more so than Taylor Swift who recently covered the eternal mega hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ – queue a Swifty propelled Number One!

 

For their upcoming tour, the band will be supported by fellow rock icons, Ash. Speaking about the upcoming release of new album Dreams On Toast, The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins comments:

 

“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? 

 

“So we knuckled down and thought really hard about the best of the best, the elite songs, the life-changing music of the ages. Then we popped out a dozen bangers before lunch. And these bangers we present to you here, wallowing in an aromatic aural ragu, served atop the charred remains of our envious contemporaries… ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dreams On Toast!”

 

In addition to Bristol, The Darkness’ 2025 tour will see them play venues in Ipswich, Oxford, Swansea, Guildford, Hull, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, York, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Portsmouth, Leicester, Cambridge and London.
