We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Yup. The Darkness is touring North America in 2012. Are you excited? Yes? No? Maybe? Pudding?

In any case, Justin Hawkins and his band of glam-metal miscreants are kicking off a tour starting February 1st in Toronto, Ontario and all the tour dates are down below. In addition to playing their “classic” tracks like “I Believe In A Thing Called Love”, you can expect the band to also play some new material from their forthcoming album. Which means expect polite clapping/idiots screaming “Freebird” during the show until they play their one big song. Then you can go home and forget you saw them.

2/1 – Toronto, ON, Phoenix
