The Darkness Australian Tour May 2012

Brit glam rock group The Darkness have their Australian tour dates, which will be their first visit to our shores since their reformation of the original line-up last year. They’ll play shows in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra; you can check out the venues below.

Yesterday we got a brief clue via the band’s Facebook page, announcing that we should keep our “eyes and ears open for some interesting news” today, which was a pretty obvious clue to their intentions to visit us – the first visit in 4 years.

The group returned with new material last year after splitting in 2006, to bring us a new over-the-top single named Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us. This marked their first material in seven years. They performed a comeback show last year at the Download Festival.

They’ll be releasing a new album some time later this year.

Tickets will go on sale on 9am Wednesday 4th April.
