The Darkness at Varsity Theater
September 19, 2025
September 19, 2025 FridayBombastic British hard rock band The Darkness is touring in support of their new album Dreams On Toast (Cooking Vinyl). The tour will stop by the Varsity Theater, in Minneapolis, on September 19, 2025.
We saw the Darkness in October 2023 and wrote, “The Darkness, the bombastic, longtime East Suffolk, UK band had returned to downtown Kansas City at The Truman to help commemorate the 20th Anniversary of their globally successful debut album, Permission to Land, and had as usual, amazed the crowd with a solid set and were about to play their biggest hit, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” as a high point, when singer Justin Hawkins made the plea. He urged fans to live and experience the moment through their own eyes, not through a tiny cell phone screen, and unite to have one last song’s length collective party, before the band would say ‘good night’ and most did oblige- pogo-ing in place, hands in the air, and singing along.”
