This year finds Britain’s beloved rock band The Darkness celebrating 20 years since they birthed Permission To Land, the multi-platinum, chart-topping debut album that changed the face of rock music forever. To celebrate the landmark occasion, The Darkness will embark on the global “Permission To Land 20” tour, with North American dates kicking off on October 3rd in San Francisco and wrapping on October 22nd in Washington, D.C. Ticket pre-sale begins June 6th @ 12 pm local times. Public on-sale starts June 9th @ 10am local times via: https://www.thedarknesslive.com/tour-dates/. VIP Experience ticket upgrades will be available across all shows.

Frontman Justin Hawkins shares:

“When Permission to Land landed, twenty short years ago, we were bathed in shock and awe. As if by magic, Rock wasn’t dead! Fun wasn’t banned! And Spandex was almost acceptable again…Well, guess what? Twenty years on, the same rules apply. So please to squeeze yourselves into those inappropriate leggings, back-comb your mullet, splash on a big handful of attitude, and come celebrate with us! We promise everything and we deliver, every time. Bring on the next twenty! The Darkness. The best. For you. Forever.”

A special expanded Permission To Land deluxe album version called Permission To Land…Again is due out this fall on Warner Music.
