THE DARKNESS Announce 2022 North American Motorheart Tour

Multi-platinum UK rock icons The Darkness – frontman/guitarist Justin Hawkins, guitarist/producer Dan Hawkins, bassist Frankie Poullain, drummer Rufus Taylor – announced dates for their 2022 North American Motorheart Tour in support of their brilliant new album Motorheart released on November 19 via Cooking Vinyl. The Darkness will showcase the live potency of Motorheart next spring to U.S. and Canadian audiences across thirty-four shows kicking off on March 9th in San Diego and wrapping on April 24 in Boston. 

With a back catalogue overflowing with sonic gold and a live reputation that most bands can only dream of attaining, fans will be treated to new songs from Motorheart ‘s joyous bombast as well as hits from The Darkness’ award-winning, platinum-selling music. The Dead Deads will open for The Darkness on all dates. Tickets and VIP upgrades go on sale Monday, December 13th at 10 AM local times via thedarknesslive.com for tickets and here for VIP upgrades.

Justin Hawkins shares, “You there, in the Americas - hear me, and hear me well: The Darkness know your pain, know that you have cried yourselves to sleep every night, bereft of quality English rock music. Well, desist from weeping and pull up your fully grown adult pants - salvation is upon you! As doctors, we UNDERSTAND the healing power of rock music and we have instructed our minions to make arrangements for us to visit your moderately distant shores. The cryogenically sealed Tupperware box of roadies has been set to “Thor” and the mighty winged chariot has been dusted off. Remember - one lick of Darkness sweat and you will be cured - you will literally walk again, without Covid or anything! But what price freedom and eternal life, I hear you ask? To you sir, about thirty bucks (plus local taxes and booking fee). Now get the fuck in!”

Over three million concert tickets sold around the world, four Top Ten albums, two hundred million streams on Spotify, five Top Ten singles and numerous industry awards, and The Darkness have toured with giants including Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Lady Gaga, Black Sabbath, Def Leopard, KISS and Ed Sheeran.
