The Darkness spread their light around the UK
oappleby by Ollie Appleby March 6th, 2003
Due to an alltogether unprecedented demand, The Darkness have upgraded next month's end of tour London show to the bigger Astoria on a bigger day.

Having just got off the road from their UK wide Def 'fucking' Leppard live shows, and putting out their massive 'Get Your Hands Off My Woman' single last week, The Darkness are to hit the road for some national headline dates of their own, now with an extra special pair of added shows.

Venue shuffling sees the final gig of the tour hitting London 3 days later, upgrading from The Mean Fiddler on April 2nd to the larger Astoria on April 5th. this is to follow two added dates in Portsmouth and Norwich, all with support from Ten Benson.
