Video: Justin Hawkins gears up for The Darkness’ UK tour

The Darkness are preparing to rock on home turf, with the British quartet hitting the road throughout late November and December.

“I think our fans are going to be really delighted with the evening that we prepare for them,” frontman Justin Hawkins told us this summer a Download Festival 2015, “because I think from beginning to end it’s going to be quality.”

Adding: “I think we really enjoy making albums but you make albums so that you have songs to play live, because that’s really what it’s all about.

“We’re a touring rock band, that’s the life that we’ve chosen and long may we lead it.”
