British rock legends The Darkness have announce their highly anticipated Dreams On Toast Tour and are set to ignite stages across Australia and New Zealand in February/March 2026.
The tour promises a heady mix of new anthems and classic hits like “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”, “Love Is Only a Feeling”, and “Growing on Me”. With their signature blend of high-octane theatrics and impeccable musicianship, The Darkness are set to remind audiences why they remain one of the most beloved live acts in rock.
Released in March 2025, their eighth studio album Dreams On Toast keeps the fire burning. Packed with huge riffs, upbeat hooks and unapologetic rock swagger, tracks like “I Hate Myself” and “The Longest Kiss” are already fast becoming fan favourites. This tour marks the first chance for audiences here to hear them live – loud, raw, and in true Darkness style.
Worth checking out is lead singer Justin Hawkins podcast Justin Hawkins Rides Again. Justin dives into the realities of life as a professional musician, discussing the highs, the lows, the business pitfalls, mental health, touring, songwriting royalties, and what it’s really like behind stage lights with humour.
Supports to be announced.
