The Darkness
Following the release of their latest album, Easter is Cancelled, The Darkness have been touring the UK with a double set line-up: the first being their entire new album which was followed by another set dedicated to fans favourites featuring their greatest hits.
The Darkness’ Brighton show gave the stage to excellent musicianship, funky outfits, and a flawless performance by front-man Justin Hawkins. This band has the power to suck you in even if you’re not a fan and don’t know many of their songs.
Despite only being released a couple of months ago, the crowd was already singing the lyrics to all the songs from Easter is Cancelled back at the band throughout the performance. It seemed like this album was truly embraced by their fans and was very well accepted.
After changing from their white suits and into something more glittery and Christmasy, The Darkness returned for the second part of the night- an hour featuring their greatest hits, ending with- you guessed it- Christmas Time.
Supporting The Darkness in Brighton were Rews, a Northern Irish alt-rock band who was getting a lot of love from the local crowd.
