The Darkness

The Darkness are playing the OVO Hydro on Tuesday 8 December, their Glasgow date on the tour. It's a big room for them, and they're not coming alone: Feeder are on as special guest, so you've got two bands on the bill rather than just one.

If you've followed them for a while, you know the sort of show they put on. It's high-energy rock with Justin Hawkins' falsetto right at the front, and they've built their whole thing around that big, theatrical sound. They're a band that leans into the spectacle of it all, so it's the kind of night that works well in a venue like the Hydro, where there's plenty of room to move around.

Feeder open the evening, and they're a well-known name in their own right, so there's a fair bit of ground to cover before The Darkness even take the stage. Between the two of them, it's a full night of guitar-led rock, and with Feeder as the special guest, the bill is doubled up.

Doors open at 6.30pm, though the exact start time hasn't been announced yet, so you've got a bit of a window to get in and settled. Tickets for Venue Premium run from £50.75 to £81.95, with the admin fee included, and there's a fulfilment charge on top. If you're looking at 'The Terrace' or 'The Nest' within Venue Premium, those are £73.10 to £78.10, also including the admin fee and plus fulfilment. It's a Tuesday night in December, so it's one of those mid-week gigs that'll have you out on a working day.
