The Darkness To Announce 2013 UK Tour Dates This Week
Tuesday, 06 November 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
British glam-rock outfit The Darkness have confirmed via Facebook that they’ll be announcing the first leg of their world tour this week - and some of their UK tour dates have popped up already.
The Suffolk-based quartet, most famous for their single ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’, returned last year after a five year absence with brand new album ‘Hot Cakes’ - hitting #4 in the UK Albums chart. Now, they’re set to hit the road again, and the dates of their tour are expected to surface very soon.
Firstly, they posted this message on their Facebook page, reading: “Far be it from us to want to find ourselves branded as "teasers", BUT; you can expect news in the next week or so of 'part one' of our 2013 world tour! You're welcome.” - leaving dozens of fans in anticipation of an announcement.
Then, a seemingly-real (though unconfirmed) poster - which you can see on the above right - surfaced, suggesting that the band would be hitting the UK in March, as well as Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
This morning we thought an announcement had arrived after some UK dates surfaced - but they were swiftly taken down, something which is probably a direct indicator of their validity. Reports online this morning suggest that the band will be playing London’s Hammersmith Apollo next year, with tickets going on sale this Friday - but we can’t confirm this just yet.
Keep your eyes peeled on Stereoboard for some official confirmation very soon!
