Rock legends The Darkness to play Liverpool Guild of Students in 2025

Get ready, Liverpool! Rock legends The Darkness are heading to the Liverpool Guild of Students as part of their highly anticipated Dreams On Toast UK headline tour.

The Darkness fans can mark their calendars for March 2025 when the band brings their signature blend of outrageous rock and cheeky theatrics to the city, in support of their eighth studio album.

The band, led by frontman Justin Hawkins, is set to release Dreams On Toast via Cooking Vinyl in March 2025, and pre-orders are now open. Known for their high-energy performances and anthemic hits, The Darkness promise to deliver an unforgettable show at the University of Liverpool venue.

Justin Hawkins, frontman of The Darkness, said:

“You know that thing when God’s breath tickles your soul and tells you to create? Yeah, makes me giggle too. But you can’t resist.

“God might not be the power she once was, but say what you like about her, she knows damn well that what the world needs now, is rock sweet rock. And who are we, mere mortals of extraordinary ability, to argue with the divine?

“So we knuckled down and thought really hard about the best of the best, the elite songs, the life-changing music of the ages. Then we popped out a dozen bangers before lunch. And these bangers we present to you here, wallowing in an aromatic aural ragu, served atop the charred remains of our envious contemporaries… ladies and gentlemen, I give you Dreams On Toast!”

The Dreams On Toast UK headline tour will see them play 17 shows across the country finishing at London’s OVO Wembley Arena on March 29.

Support comes from Northern Irish indie-rock heroes Ash, who first supported The Darkness on their legendary ‘Permission To Land Tour’ over 20 years ago.

Ash said:

“In 2004 we toured the UK’s arenas with The Darkness as ‘Permission to Land’ catapulted them into the big league. Next March, 21 years later, we will reunite to tear across Britain before an epic crescendo at Wembley Arena. We believe in a thing called Rock!”

The Liverpool gig promises to be one of the standout shows of the tour, offering local fans a chance to see one of Britain’s most iconic rock bands up close.

So, if you’re a fan of glittering spandex, high-octane guitar solos, and rock anthems that span the generations, don’t miss out on this epic night. The Darkness are back—and they’re ready to rock Liverpool like never before.

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, September 27 at 10am, with pre-sales starting on Wednesday, September 25.
