Legends of rock, The Darkness are pleased to announce a return to Belfast with a headline show at Custom House Square with special guests ASH and Bad Nerves on Saturday 09th August 2025.

More than 20 years after The Darkness exploded with the big bang that changed the face of British rock music, their cheeky, spandex-clad anthems continue to capture hearts, and a new generation of fans, around the world. None more so than Taylor Swift who sparked yet another internet meltdown last week by singing along with the band’s eternal mega-hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ at the US Open. As a result her legions of fans sent the track hurtling up charts across the world, including reaching Number 1 in the US iTunes Rock Chart, 21 years after its release.

The band release their eighth studio album Dreams On Toast via Cooking Vinyl in March 2025

Dreams On Toast album artwork was designed by Grammy winning artist Perry Shall

Not only will Dreams On Toast feature arguably their best collection of songs yet, but The Darkness will also be hitting the road next March for their largest headline tour of the UK in years, solidifying their status as one of Britain, and indeed the world’s, most important rock bands. 

Fine friends in Belfast! We’re excited to announce that we’re bringing our Dreams on Toast Tour to Custom House Square on Saturday 9th August 2025.

Tickets go on pre-sale on Wednesday at 9am and general on Friday at 9am.

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 29th. 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. 

Lead singer of Ash, Tim Wheeler, comments, “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!”
