The Darkness have announced the Band of Brothers Arena Tour, their biggest headline tour in 20 years.
The English rockers will perform at Glasgow's OVO Hydro, Leeds' First Direct Bank Arena, Manchester's AO Arena, the Utilita Arenas in Birmingham and Cardiff, Brighton Centre and The O2 in London between December 8 and 16, 2026.
Support will come from American country-rock band Brothers Osborne and UK rock group A. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on November 28. Vocalist-guitarist Justin Hawkins said:
“Powerful rock was designed to be played in huge rectangular buildings. Huge rectangular buildings were designed to house powerful rock bands. The Darkness are a powerful rock band and the arenas listed below are huge rectangular buildings. Except for the exception which proves the rule. Thank you O2 Arena…
"In December 2026 this elegantly logical proposition will become a reality, driven by three bands consisting of seven brothers. Three of them are Perrys, from Lowestoft’s A. Two of them are Osbornes, from the Brothers Osborne. And two of them are my brother Dan and I. The Darkness, Brothers Osborne and A, veritable Bands of Brothers, rocking in a huge rectangular (or domed) building – what could be more powerful than that?”
Brothers Osborne lead singer and guitarist TJ Osborne commented: “There was cosmic ripple in the space time continuum that led to our paths crossing. Can’t wait to prove, once again, that brothers do it best and guitar solos are alive and well.”
The Darkness released their new album, 'Dreams On Toast', in March. It reached number two on the UK's Official Albums Chart, making it their most successful record since their debut LP, 2003's 'Permission To Land'.
