THE DARKNESS ANNOUNCE THEIR FIRST HEADLINE SHOW AT THE O2
The Darkness have announced their largest headline tour in 20 years, including their debut headline performance at The O2 on Wednesday 16 December 2026. The Darkness will be joined GRAMMY-winning, multi-platinum selling, American country rock band Brothers Osborne, as well as the multi-million streamed UK rock band A.
Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 26 November and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 28 November via www.theo2.co.uk.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of their eighth studio album Dreams On Toast which smashed into the UK Official Albums Chart at No.2 in April this year. Dreams On Toast became their most successful album since their iconic debut album Permission To Land, a record which has recently been revealed as the most successful British rock album of the 21st century.
Poised to fulfil the dreams of hundreds of thousands more fans in 2026, The Darkness come armed with a tour and set list guaranteed to be the best thing since sliced – and toasted! – bread.
