Multi-platinum UK rock royalty The Darkness are set to make their triumphant return to Australia & New Zealand in February 2026 with an epic run of summer shows in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart, Fremantle, Frankston, Melbourne plus Auckland and Wellington! 

Following their massive 2024 Permission To Land 20th anniversary tour, the band are bringing their signature high-voltage energy and outrageous fun back to stages, serving up fan favourites like I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Love Is Only A Feeling, alongside new tracks from their latest album Dreams On Toast, including I Hate Myself and The Longest Kiss. This tour marks the first chance for fans to hear the new songs live.

Exploding onto the scene in 2003 with their now-classic debut Permission To Land, The Darkness quickly became one of the UK’s most beloved rock bands, racking up over 1.5 million album sales, a headline set at Reading & Leeds in 2004, and a string of major awards including BRITs, Kerrang!, and an Ivor Novell.

Joining The Darkness on their Australia & New Zealand tour is emerging Australian artist RAGEFLOWER – a magnetic force of cinematic alt-rock whose sound blurs the boundaries of emotion, experimentation and raw power. Her music balances fragility and strength in equal measure. Her live performances are powerful and deeply felt – part confessional, part spectacle – earning her a rapidly growing international audience across the U.S., Japan and Europe, and positioning her as one of Australia’s most compelling new voices.

Exclusive limited VIP Packages are now available, offering the ultra-fan experience – meet the band, access soundcheck, side-of-stage viewing with drinks, Q&A, photo, goodie bag, early merch and venue access, plus the chance to step on stage.

The band’s cheeky, spandex-clad anthems changed the face of British rock and continue to capture hearts and a new generation of fans around the world. Their live shows are pure spectacle: soaring falsettos, outrageous outfits, endless guitar solos, and crowds belting out every word. Don’t miss your chance to experience it all live in 2026 – it’s bold, loud, and gloriously over-the-top fun.
