The Darkness – Bands of Brothers Arena Tour
British rock band The Darkness are bringing their unmistakable sound and electrifying live show to Leeds!
Known for soaring falsettos, outrageous guitar riffs and an incredible stage presence, The Darkness carved their place in rock history with a style that’s equal parts nostalgic and completely their own. Their breakout album Permission to Land became an instant classic, earning multi-platinum success and delivering anthems that defined a generation of British rock fans.
Over the years they’ve continued to evolve while keeping the spirit of pure, unapologetic rock ’n’ roll alive. With hits like I Believe in a Thing Called Love, Love Is Only a Feeling and Growing on Me, their live shows are renowned for their energy, humour and full-throttle performance.
Now they’re heading to the first direct bank arena with a brand-new night of riffs, high energy and that iconic Darkness swagger. It’s the perfect chance to gather your mates and experience a band who bring rock theatre to life on stage.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see The Darkness live for a night of unforgettable rock ’n’ roll.
