The Darkness

We’ve got a major date to look forward to at the end of next year. The classic rock revivalists, The Darkness, are scheduled to return to Brighton as part of their extensive 'Bands of Brothers Arena Tour'. This isn't just a standard gig; it’s being billed as their largest headline tour in twenty years, marking a significant return after what has been described as a period in the 'wilderness'. If you’re planning your calendar for late 2026, the date to circle is Tuesday, December 15th. The show is confirmed for the Brighton Centre, located right on Kings Road (BN1 2GR).

The Darkness isn't coming alone; they are bringing a strong lineup to the coast. The tour features both Brothers Osborne and the band A as special guests, suggesting a full evening of music. If you’re planning your arrival, the doors are scheduled to open relatively early, at 18:00 (6:00 PM). The Brighton Centre typically offers both seating and standing options for these large-scale events, so you can choose the format that suits you best for this major stop on the tour.

For those who already secured their spot, the general sale for tickets began back on Friday, November 28, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., following a pre-sale that started two days earlier. If you are organizing a group, it’s worth noting that there was a limit set at a maximum of six tickets per person during the initial sales period. Also, if you plan on bringing younger fans, the venue specifies that anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. It’s useful to keep these practical details in mind as the date approaches for this highly anticipated return to the city.
