UK retro rockers The Darkness have announced plans to bring their ‘Motorheart’ tour to 3Olympia Theatre, Dublin on 27th February and Limelight 1, Belfast on 28th February 2022.

The band will release their new album ‘Motorheart’ on 19th November 2021. In aid of this, the group have announced a full UK tour in November and December this year alongside these dates on our shores. Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris’ side project British Lion will provide support.

On the tour, frontman Justin Hawkins has said “The time has come, the walrus said… to put your fookin pants on your head and rock like Satan is eating your private parts with a pointy fork! Yes, we, The Darkness, are the fuck back on tour, praise Satan’s better half… come and party with us like it’s the last orders at the last chance saloon. Which it may well be, but I wouldn’t like to comment any further on that. Get in kids, it’s the Darkness, wot you knows and luvs, plus British Lion – Steve Harris’ top rock band who are guaranteed to blow your socks straight up your welcoming arses. What a night! Delirium! Outfits, including hats! Denim that smells of hamsters! Who doesn’t want that? See you down the front, connoisseurs of the finest that life has to offer…”

The Darkness have established themselves as one of the most loved British live bands of our time, thanks to their trademark blazing guitar riffs and solos, soaring falsetto and immeasurable rock ‘n’ roll extravagance.
