NEWS: The Darkness Return
As foretold in the prophecy, The Darkness are back in their original line-up, and will play at Download. Here’s the official word straight from the band’s website:
As promised… following a 5 year hiatus, The Darkness will make their return to the world stage on Friday 10th June 2011 at Donington Park where the band will keep the main stage warm for Def Leppard at this year’s Download Festival.
Prior to this event, The Darkness will be locked in an East Anglian studio working on tracks that will in time become the band’s third album.
For the avoidance of doubt, The Darkness is :
Justin Hawkins, Dan Hawkins, Frankie Poullain, Ed Graham.
More news shall no doubt be forthcoming before too long. In the meantime, tickets for Download and further information can be found at :http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/2011/

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
