LIVE PHOTOS: THE DARKNESS at Miama Marketta, Gold Coast

Saturday 21st February 2026

Multi-platinum UK rock royalty The Darkness made their triumphant return to Australia & New Zealand in with a spell binding tour opener at Gold Coast’s Miami Marketta before an epic run of summer shows in Newcastle, Wollongong, Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart, Fremantle, Frankston, Melbourne plus Auckland and Wellington! 

Following their massive 2024 Permission To Land 20th anniversary tour, the band didn’t disappoint as they delivered their signature high-voltage energy and outrageous fun back to stages, serving up fan favourites like I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Love Is Only A Feeling, alongside new tracks from their latest album Dreams On Toast, including I Hate Myself and The Longest Kiss.
