UK ROCK LEGENDS THE DARKNESS ANNOUNCE ADELAIDE SHOW
UK rock legends, The Darkness, are extending their 20th-anniversary celebrations for the iconic debut album, Permission To Land, with a show at Hindley St Music Hall. Igniting the mainstream rock scene in the early 2000s with their trademark falsetto, spandex, guitar riffs and theatrical live shows, the band’s album topped the UK charts almost overnight, surpassing 5x Platinum and selling over 1.5 million copies in the UK alone.
Irrepressible frontman Justin Hawkins reflects on the anniversary of their debut album with fondness: “When Permission to Land landed twenty short years ago, we were bathed in shock and awe. As if by magic, rock wasn’t dead! Fun wasn’t banned! And spandex was almost acceptable again… Well, guess what? Twenty years on, the same rules apply. So please 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!
Delivering iconic songs such as “I Believe in A Thing Called Love” and “Love Is Only A Feeling”, the band’s album, Permission to Land, will be performed live, in its entirety, for fans plus a string of album B-sides and rarities.
The Darkness will play at Hindley St Music Hall on January 30.
