Bands of Brothers Arena Tour: The Darkness with Brothers Osborne and A

The tour comes off the back of their eighth studio album released this year, Dreams on Toast, which roared to number two on the UK Official Albums Chart. The album is the band’s biggest success since their debut album Permission to Land, which has been crowned the most successful British rock album of the 21st century. The 2026 tour won’t just be turning up the volume across the UK, it’s also doubling down on something more primal – brotherhood. 

The tour is driven by three bands made up of seven brothers. Headliners The Darkness include the Hawkins brothers – Justin and Dan – whose musical chemistry has always been a huge part of the band’s electric energy. 

Support comes from Brothers Osborne, TJ and John Osborne, whose blend of country, rock and soul have captivated audiences worldwide. Lead singer TJ puts it simply, “brothers do it best.” Also joining them are A, the multi-million streamed UK rock band who are partly powered by three brothers, Jason, Adam and Giles Perry. 

Powerful rock can be expected from this string of shows, but these sibling connections are bound to create something extra special. The DNA-deep ties and brotherly telepathy guarantee huge riffs, wild solos, theatrical falsettos and arena-sized singalongs. 

In 2026, brotherhood is no longer just a word, it’s a volume setting – and these bands intend to crank it to full power.
