‘PERMISSION TO LAND’ 20TH ANNIVERSARY WORLD TOUR – EUROPEAN DATES REVEALED – MORE SHOWS AROUND THE PLANET TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2023 finds Britain\u2019s beloved rock band The Darkness celebrating 20 years since they birthed ‘Permission To Land’, the multi-platinum, chart-topping debut album which changed the face of rock music forever. To celebrate the landmark occasion, The Darkness will embark on a global tour later this year.

Today the band are delighted to announce 13 European dates on the ‘Permission To Land 20’ tour, with many more jaw-dropping, show-stopping concerts around the world to be revealed shortly.

Frontman Justin Hawkins comments,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhen Permission to Land landed, twenty short years ago, we were bathed in shock and awe. As if by magic, Rock wasn\u2019t dead! Fun wasn\u2019t banned! And Spandex was almost acceptable again\u2026

\u201cWell, guess what? Twenty years on, the same rules apply. So please to squeeze yourselves into those inappropriate leggings, back-comb your mullet, splash on a big handful of attitude, and come celebrate with us! We promise everything and we deliver, every time. Bring on the next twenty!\u00a0

\u201cThe Darkness.\u00a0The best.\u00a0For you.\u00a0Forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tickets for these European shows\u00a0will be on sale from Friday 24th March here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shows promise to be a grand spectacle with the band playing the much-lauded, award-winning, foot-stomping, guitar-wailing, groove-making masterpiece in full. Kicking off with the splendid rifferama of \u2018Black Shuck\u2019 they\u2019ll blast their way through all of Permission To Land<\/em>\u2019s 11 tracks, including \u2018Growing On Me\u2019, \u2018Love Is Only A Feeling\u2019, \u2018Giving Up\u2019, \u2018Love On The Rocks With No Ice\u2019, \u2018Get Your Hands Off My Woman\u2019 and of course the iconic \u2018I Believe In A Thing Called Love\u2019.

In addition to that splendid confection of rock brilliance, Justin, Dan, Frankie and Rufus will pump out a bonus \u2018Best Of The Rest\u2019 set, stuffed to the gills with all the hits and fan favourites from their six subsequent studio albums. It\u2019s enough to make any right-thinking music fan go weak at the knees!

There will also be a very special expanded Permission To Land <\/em>deluxe album release coming later this year via Warner Music, with further details to be revealed soon.\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
