The Darkness have announced a winter UK tour.
The British rockers will kick off the 22-date run at Brighton Dome on November 17 and conclude it with two nights at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London on December 16 and 17. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on June 11. Support will come from special guest British Lion.
The tour shares its name with their new album, 'Motorheart', which is due for release on October 15. It follows up 2019's 'Easter Is Cancelled'. Frontman Justin Hawkins said:
“The time has come, the walrus said... to put your fookin pants on your head and rock like Satan is eating your private parts with a pointy fork! Yes, we, The Darkness, are the fuck back on tour, praise Satan’s better half... come and party with us like it’s the last orders at the last chance saloon. Which it may well be, but I wouldn’t like to comment any further on that. Get in kids, it’s the Darkness, wot you knows and luvs, plus British Lion - Steve Harris’ top rock band who are guaranteed to blow your socks straight up your welcoming arses. What a night! Delirium! Outfits, including hats! Denim that smells of hamsters! Who doesn’t want that? See you down the front, connoisseurs of the finest that life has to offer...”
