Today the band has announced 13 European dates on the "Permission To Land 20" tour, with many more jaw-dropping, show-stopping concerts around the world to be revealed shortly. We’ll also play all of your favourite Darkness songs from the rest of our illustrious and tipsy turvy career. It will be the best show you’ll see this year. I should know, I’m the singer and also a YouTube music expert.” The Darkness announce Permission To Land… Again; a special 20 th Anniversary reissue collection, to be released on October 6 th 2023 via Warner Music on a 2CD.

The announcement of the reissue comes nearly 20 years to the day that Permission to Land was released (July 7th, 2003). Permission to Land… Again will be available in a 5-LP version and a 4-CD/DVD edition. The album has been out of print on vinyl since its original pressing. When we were writing these songs in 2001, 2002, we had nothing,” Hawkins tells Apple Music. “And we knew that what we were doing was hopelessly unfashionable. But I think the idea was just to make some music that was reminiscent of the stuff that we enjoyed when we were learning our instruments and growing up—and the stuff that our dads showed us. And I think the only objective, really, was to not give up.” There will also be a very special expanded Permission To Land deluxe album release coming later this year via Warner Music, with further details to be revealed soon.It's one of those songs where I was thinking it was a bit lighter and a bit poppier than most of the record. And one of the things I wanted to try was a list, because I think pop songs often have lists in. Like, ‘Monday, did this, Tuesday, did that’, or counting numbers, and I was keen to explore those kinds of devices. So I thought about all the stuff that I used to do when I was at school, and I tried to make it into a love song as well. But it’s an unrequited love song. There's a bloke chasing a girl around, doing everything she does, but all of his efforts fall on deaf eyes. That's it: deaf eyes.” Alongside the world tour, The Darkness will be unleashing an expanded deluxe edition of ‘Permission to Land’ via Warner Music later this year. The Darkness’ ‘Permission to Land’ tour dates: Commenting on the shows, The Darkness’ frontman Justin Hawkins says, “We, The Darkness, are delighted to announce that we’ll be hitting the road in the UK once again. The original album was huge success for the British band, thanks in large part to the worldwide hit “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” Other singles like “Growing on Me” and “Love Is Only a Feeling” topped the charts in the UK. And when the Darkness did play it straight, the result could be incandescent. The deathless single “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”—which debuted at No. 2 in the UK—pairs a crunchy AOR riff with a half-yodeled chorus straight out of “ Focus.” There are two couplets masquerading as verses; everything’s a race to the giddy nonsense of the refrain. When the trash can ending hits, it’s as if the song is taking its own bow. The nostalgic late- Kinks power-pop of “Friday Night” was an academic exercise—“Lyrically, I realized people liked songs with lists in,” Justin Hawkins recalled in 2013—contrasting the titular dance night with a list of extracurriculars (“I got ping-pong on Wednesday/Needlework on Thursday”) that would exhaust Max Fischer. The final result is touching rather than rote, even when, right before the solo, Hawkins purrs like a tiger.

Footage of the Knebworth and Astoria shows are captured on the DVD, as well as the music videos for their hit singles including ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’, ‘Get Your Hands Off My Woman’, ‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)’ and more. There is also a ‘History Of The Darkness’ documentary plus various behind the scenes footage and outtakes from the Permission To Land era… Alongside the tour, there will also be a very special expanded ‘Permission To Land’ deluxe album release coming later this year via Warner Music, with full details to be revealed soon. The Darkness’ ‘Permission to Land’ 20th anniversary UK & Ireland tour dates: There will also be a very special expanded "Permission To Land" deluxe album release coming later this year via Warner Music, with further details to be revealed soon. The shows promise to be a grand spectacle with the band playing the foot-stomping, guitar-wailing, groove-making masterpiece album in full, alongside a ‘Best Of The Rest’ set, stuffed to the gills with all the hits and fan favourites from their six subsequent studio albums. Today the band are delighted to announce 13 European dates on the Permission To Land 20 tour, with many more jaw-dropping, show-stopping concerts around the world to be revealed shortly.The Darkness have announced a 20th anniversary edition of their hit debut album, Permission to Land. The expanded version of the 2003 LP has been dubbed Permission to Land… Again, and will arrive on October 6th via Warner Music.
