THE Darkness have announced a come-back gig in Thetford Forest next year. The band will perform in Thetford Forest as part of Forestry Commission Live Music tour for 2012.
The Darkness exploded into the public consciousness in 2000 with their unique brand of glammed-up rock music and outrageous stage costumes. Their debut album Permission to Land shot to number one, spawning new rock anthems including Love is only a Feeling, I Believe In A Thing Called Love and Growing on Me.

Justin Hawkins from the band said: “I have often walked through Thetford Forest, enchanted by bird-song, mesmerised by the rhythm of nesting squirrels. My urge to fill the trees with music of my own can no longer be denied.”
