The Darkness, the popular rock band, are releasing a feature-length documentary, Welcome to the Darkness, directed by Simon Emmett. A trailer for the documentary is now available to check out.
The documentary tells the story of the band’s formation in the early 2000s, their meteoric rise to fame, and eventual disbandment in 2006, followed by their reunion in 2011. The film will be released in cinemas for one night only on November 9th and will be available on digital download and Blu-ray from December 4th.
The documentary features unseen archive footage and intimate interviews with Justin Hawkins, his brother Dan Hawkins, bassist Frankie Poullain, and new drummer Rufus Taylor. It is a tongue-in-cheek reflection on fame, failure, friendship, and forgiveness and at its core is a story of four people who faced adversities and sought redemption.
The documentary arrives alongside the 20th anniversary reissue of the band’s breakthrough album ‘Permission To Land’, which features their hit single ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’. To celebrate the milestone, The Darkness will embark on a tour of the UK and Europe, playing the album in full as well as other hits from their discography.
Tickets for the documentary’s one-night cinema showing and the tour are now available. Fans of the band should act fast and purchase tickets to experience the unique story of The Darkness.
