On April 29th, one of Britain’s most electrifying live acts, The Darkness, lit up a sold-out OVO Wembley Arena with an impossible show to ignore. Kicking off the night in fine style were Ash, the legendary Northern Irish rockers, whose high-energy set was the perfect primer for an evening of full-throttle fun.
As The Darkness took to the stage, a thick wall of smoke rolled across the floor, setting the scene with an aura of mystery straight out of glam rock’s golden age. From the very first note, frontman Justin Hawkins was a whirlwind of charisma and power, pouring every ounce of his theatrical energy into the performance — and the crowd matched him step for step.
The atmosphere never dipped. Roars echoed through the arena from start to finish, as fans fed off the band’s relentless pace and infectious spirit. With their signature mix of outrageous flair and razor-sharp musicianship, The Darkness once again proved why they’re still one of the most thrilling live bands around. XS Noize was there to capture it all — a spectacular night of rock ‘n’ roll brilliance in London.
