The Darkness Announces North American Tour for “Dreams On Toast”
Following a successful headline tour across the UK, British rock band The Darkness is set to bring their electrifying live experience to North America in support of their latest album, Dreams On Toast.
Tour Details
The band has confirmed a series of dates in the U.S. and Canada, promising fans a “rock’n’roll rampage” that kicks off in August and extends into November. The Darkness invites all music lovers, whether they’re fans of peanut butter and jelly, maple syrup, or even marmite, to join in on the festivities.
A Spectacle of Rock
In true Darkness fashion, the band has teased that audiences can expect “glorious spectacles of foot-stomping, guitar-wailing and face-melting, high-octane joy.” They encourage fans to spread the word, stating: “Tell your mates. Tell your mum. The Darkness are coming.”
Live Performance Dynamics
Guitarist Dan Hawkins recently praised frontman Justin Hawkins for his unique ability to engage with the audience during live shows. In an interview with Kerrang!, Dan explained, “Justin will just stop a song in the middle to say something to someone in the crowd, or build up a sing-along, or whatever, and then just go ‘3-2-1’ and we have to all be absolutely on our marks to make it work.”
Drummer Rufus Taylor echoed this sentiment, noting the rarity of performers who can effectively interact with their audience. “You just don’t see them talking to a crowd of people, like it’s just you and them at a bar or something. And Justin does that better than anyone,” he remarked.
