THE DARKNESS are set to make a triumphant return with their upcoming headlining world tour "Let Them Eat Cakes." The U.S. portion of the trek will kick-off January 10 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and wrap-up February 2 in Aspen, CO before the band heads to 15 countries worldwide (see full routing below). The group's potent and energetic live shows are epic and not to be missed. The "Let Them Eat Cakes" world tour marks the band's first headlining run since the release of HOT CAKES, out now on Wind-up in North
America and PIAS in the rest of the world (see critical soundbites for HOT CAKEShere https://msopr.com/files/critical_quotes30.pdf). HOT CAKES was produced by the band's JUSTIN and DAN HAWKINS with long-time collaborator Nick Brine and mixed by Bob Ezrin. The resulting 11-song cycle delivers epic rock anthems and infectious pop choruses. Listen to a sampling of HOT CAKES here: https://bit.ly/S2h07B.
"Hands down the most entertaining rock show you can see these days..." - BLACKBOOK (October 22,2012)
"Wonderfully eccentric and trend-detached, The
Darkness also stand on their heads (sometimes literally) to deliver the most unashamedly entertaining show in contemporary hard rock." - - LA WEEKLY (October 19, 2012)
