The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins will return to the road with his one-man show early next year.
Following a successful series of gigs in 2024, the Justin Hawkins Rides Again… Again Tour will make 20 stops across the UK between January 12 and February 7, kicking things off at Swindon's Wyvern Theatre and wrapping up the run at London's Cadogan Hall. Tickets for all dates go on general sale at 10am on Friday (July 11).
A live version of his hugely popular YouTube show, which has over 600,000 subscribers, the tour will see Hawkins giving insight into how the music industry really works, as well as dissecting some of the most popular and unusual songs out right now. Check out an introduction to his channel below.
The Darkness, meanwhile, released their eighth studio album, 'Dreams On Toast', in March. They'll headline Tunes at the Coliseum in Carlyon Bay, St. Austell on July 26, before topping the bill of Belfast's CHSq concert series on August 9. They also have North American and European tour dates lined up over the coming months. Tickets are on sale now.
