News : The Darkness announce Australian headline shows this April/May

By on February 7, 2017

British rock act, The Darkness have announced their much-awaited return to Australian shores this April/May. Last here in November 2015, the band’s run of shows this year will also include a special headline appearance at the Groovin The Moo festival.

Rejoice, Australians fair, in your home which you so rightly claim to be girt by sea – THE DARKNESS are quite simply thrilled to be returning to your shores. 

Those lovely people at Groovin The Moo festival have realised that there is simply NOT ENOUGH ROCK on your otherwise wonderful island, and have tasked us with saving YOU from inferior musical stylings.

Besides leading the stellar festival line up at GTM, we also gift you headline shows in all of Australia’s favourite cities, showcasing our trademark mix of relentless rifferama, effortless haute couture, ridiculously loud noises and bright things that flash on and off. 

Ask any fool – a DARKNESS show is a place where believers come together, where fluids are shared, and dreams are built. But most importantly, where rock and roll is crowned king EVERY NIGHT! Come one, come all…

– Justin Hawkins
