The Darkness have revealed a series of three intimate in-store concerts leading up to Christmas, where they will debut tracks from their upcoming album *Dreams on Toast* live for the first time.
Their mini tour starts at London’s Rough Trade East on Tuesday, December 10th, followed by performances at Nottingham’s Rough Trade on Wednesday, December 11th, and Liverpool’s Rough Trade on Thursday, December 12th.
*Dreams on Toast*, the band's eighth studio album, is set to be released on Friday, March 28th.
Commenting on the record, Justin Hawkins said: “You know that thing when God’s breath tickles your soul and tells you to create? Yeah, makes me giggle too. But you can’t resist,” comments frontman Justin Hawkins. “God might not be the power she once was, but say what you like about her, she knows damn well that what the world needs now, is rock sweet rock. And who are we, mere mortals of extraordinary ability, to argue with the divine?
“So we knuckled down and thought really hard about the best of the best, the elite songs, the life-changing music of the ages. Then we popped out a dozen bangers before lunch. And these bangers we present to you here, wallowing in an aromatic aural ragu, served atop the charred remains of our envious contemporaries… ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dreams On Toast!”
Coinciding with its release, The Darkness will embark on a major headline UK tour that culminates with a whopping show at London OVO Arena Wembley.
Support comes from Ash.
