The Darkness
The Darkness will bring their 'Permission to Land' 20th Anniversary Tour to The O2 Academy Edinburgh on Tuesday 5th December!
About The Darkness
The Darkness are hitting the road to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ‘Permission To Land’. It’s sure to be a grand spectacle with the band playing the much-lauded, award-winning, foot-stomping, guitar-wailing, groove-making masterpiece in full.
In addition to such a splendid confection of rock brilliance, Justin, Dan, Frankie and Rufus will pump out a bonus ‘Best Of The Rest’ set, stuffed to the gills with all the hits and fan favourites from their six subsequent studio albums and illustrious career.
