Over-the-top English rockers The Darkness just announced their return to the States on a tour this spring in support of 2015’s The Last of Our Kind. Says frontman Justin Hawkins:

America – we give you the BACK TO THE USSA tour 2016, visiting as many glorious US rock citadels as possible before we return to our secret mountain-top castle to begin creating the next astonishing Darkness record.

The Darkness consists of my brother Dan, Frankie Poullain, Rufus Taylor and I. This is golden-era The Darkness. If music and good times are in your soul, come see us perform live. If you aren’t overly bothered about music and/or good times, jog on – there is nothing for you here.

A Darkness show is a place where believers come together, where fluids are shared, and dreams are built. But most importantly, rock and roll is crowned king EVERY NIGHT!

Much like last year’s tour, it’ll kick off on the West Coast and make its way to the East Coast, where they’ll stop by NYC’s Irving Plaza on May 2. Tickets go Citi presale Tuesday (2/23) at 10 AM, LiveNation/Music Geeks presales Wednesday (2/24) at 10 AM and general sale on Friday (2/26) at 10 AM.
