I git my Thin Lizzy tshirt and I'm ready for the concert tomorrow, Thursday 11, in Valmontone Italy.😊

[@Natalie-rc4cx]

Amazing light show really takes the whole experience up a notch or two.

[@rickykent4543]

Ladies and gentlemen, one of the finest live bands you will ever see.

[@liveloud9894]

I’ve seen them a couple of times and I have to agree they are superb live

[@cheshirebowman4465]

You ain't seen many real bands then?

[@rickykent4543]

@@cheshirebowman4465 seen plenty, didn't say they were THE best live band but they are up there, they are fantastic live. The best band I have witnessed live is Queen, Knebworth 1986 so yes, I have seen some decent bands.

[@glennbraiden3310]

Thanks for posting this, I missed the gig in Brighton cos of ankle surgery. For all of his fucking around they are one of the tightest bands you’ll see and JH must be one of the best front men EVER……..and bear in mind that I saw Queen on 7 tours!! (77-86)……..and Rock City IS one of the greatest venues in the country 😄

[@dannymcmince]

Nice to hear Lizzy played before the gig, the boys are big Thin Lizzy fans....RIP Phil 38yrs gone.

[@rodwilliams4170]

Bold, brash and much maligned in some circles, but nonetheless rivetingly entertaining with Permission to Land being undoubtedly one of the finest collections of nonsensically brilliant, piss taking rock and roll ever to grace the airwaves!! Brilliant.

[@synchronicity1470]

This band is incredible!

[@woosha10]

Seeing them this weekend in Melbourne can’t wait. 🎸 🥁

Abba arrival.... fantastic choice of an intro to a fantastic live band as is The Darkness 😊

[@styxinator91]

Thanks. This was great!

[@isaac_fuller_]

I was at the Manchester show and we managed to start a mosh pit during I believe in a thing called love!

[@mathewdee1632]

Ive seen them live twice , they really are incredible live ☺️

[@davidrose1847]

Saw them Supporting Def Leppard at Wolverhampton early 00s. Loved this Album, i remember Justin Hawkins on Guitarist shoulders like AC/DC Very Entertaining

[@billhunter2300]

Love the ABBA tune. So atmospheric ❤

[@Paka1983]

Where was it? What song?

I was there! Was an awesome night!

[@matthewlacey5307]

PS am a devotee ofJ on you tube. Top notch show

[@ScottyLiardi]

One of the most under-rated bands ever...

[@mastercraft5798]

Totally rocked the joint!

[@AndrewKiller]

Awesome. Do you happen to have the encore (I Love You 5 Times + Love on the Rocks With No Ice)?

[@mattsmith124]

Sadly I don't my phone was almost dead

[@donmcmillan4388]

The final frontier in rock n roll.

[@kurtekerhaugen9755]

The wonderful and magical The Darkness! One of a kind! One of my absolute favorite bands! They deliver an outstanding live show every single time!❤

[@brycejames7829]

ooooh i wonder if i have relatives there, i just traced art of my family back to the smiths who founded the bank of nottingham. yay the darkness ❤❤

[@smackie001]

Haha how many artists interview the photographers 😂 awesome stuff.

[@makeyourself1988]

I hated this band when they came out back in 2003. I love them now and listen to their first album a lot in the car. Brilliant live band too.

[@Bradford659]

Can’t wait till next February in Sydney

[@thebluetwistie]

Me too! Changed my flights to travel to QLD so I could duck to Brisvegas in time to see them.

[@lidiageo]

I want to.see live

[@Richard-kk2lg]

Was a great night

[@halloweenjack2562]

Brilliant! Btw, Justin told us we were the best audience in the country, in Leeds, and that is of course true - but Nottingham you were pretty good! I don't have evidence to back this up because Justin asked us all to put our phones away - and we did because we love and respect this fablous band! If you weren't there, well, where the hell were you??? Love you, Darkness !!

[@arekpocicki5681]

i belive

[@fenniblues]

Fantastici...

[@jackwillson8099]

I can't believe there not bigger there killer

[@davehunter6920]

whats Michael schenker doing in audience ?

[@matthewlacey5307]

Now Kiss have retired, this band should fill all those festival slots.

[@leejohnson6516]

Looks like Justin has retired the white LP Custom for good!?🎸

[@nilly666]

he brings it out for the odd song, but coming from someone who owns one myself, they weigh a lot!! so im sure hes glad to be not having so many back problems! haha

[@grahamdrummond2412]

Were you not scared of getting called out filming from Justin ?😅

[@BradyA1124]

Um .... did Justin just do that? 36:45

[@MicksMom365]

Yeah he did. lol

[@EverettVernon72]

Blows my mind how they don’t play arenas anymore

[@user-gc8ge6jr5z]

Let me guess, they're Irish right?

[@MuckingMunt]

I think Frankie the bass player is, iirc. Thin Lizzy is a big early influence... (see Dan's t-shirt collection)

[@nickk6518]

Woking gave us Peter Gabriel, the Jam, Rick Parfitt and . . . Delia Smith. Chertsey gave us The Darkness. Surrey Rocks!!!!

[@christopherdavies3079]

I thought they came from Lowestoft , Suffolk !

[@nickk6518]

@@christopherdavies3079 I was half right, I guess. I should have said Justin and Daniel Hawkins were born in Chertsey!

[@christopherdavies3079]

They may have been born in Chertsey but both Justin and Dan consider themselves from Lowestoft , Suffolk where The Darkness was formed Justin in particular has made several comments over the years about growing up in Lowestoft and nothing about Chertsey @@nickk6518

[@danstokes7930]

They were OK supporting GNR at Hyde Park, small places are more their thing, never been a big band, stick to what you're good at...small venue's & making a couple of thousand fans happy

[@swingriots1549]

What are you on about, never been a big band? They were multiple nights in the same arena MASSIVE in the early 00s 😂

[@acrawfordsaid]

The show opening was a clunky and awkward affair, lights on, off, music on, off. The show seemed to be interrupted with stoppage and chat a bit too often.

[@ludwig6332]

All that trouble...... for nothing.

[@TheCurtisdavies]

what you mean?
