The Darkness have added two extra dates to their forthcoming Australian tour in May where they will be bringing their showmanship in spandex to our shores for the first time in six years.

In massive show of people power, South Australian fans of The Darkness have made such a noise about getting the band to Adelaide, that they have added a show on May 12th, tickets go on sale April 16th from 9am,

The British glam rock sensation officially announced their Australian 2012 tour dates just last week, and within an hour of tickets going on sale, the Melbourne show sold out. Melbournefans who were not quick enough to get their hands on the first round, can rest easy as a second show has just been announced – Wednesday May 9at The Palace Theatre.

Having supported the likes of Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, and Def Leppard, The Darkness deliver an awe inspiring live show that is not to be missed. Catch the original line up of Justin Hawkins (vocals/ guitar), Dan Hawkins (guitars/ backing vocals), Frankie Poullain (bass), and Ed Graham (drums) this May.
