Icon. Superstar. Legend. Hero. Justin Hawkins is back this Jan!

And that devastating wit and repartee, along with an encyclopaedic knowledge of not just music itself, but the machinations of the music industry, will be on full display when Justin Hawkins, frontman of revered rock band The Darkness, takes to the stage to Ride Again… Again!

Following the wildly successful, and hugely acclaimed, series of one-man shows that Justin Hawkins embarked upon in 2024, whereupon he brought his massively popular YouTube show of 600,000+ subscribers to life on stage, he ventures out on a new solo venture for his adoring fans at the start of 2026. From Swindon to Crewe and from Ilkley to glamorous Milton Keynes, no part of this fair kingdom shall be untouched by the inimitable Hawkins’ magic.

If you like pontificating about music and culture, uncovering insights into how the music industry really works and witnessing a man chaotically conducting an evening of entertainment, then Justin Hawkins Rides Again… Again is for you.

Once again, Justin will be breaking down some of the most popular and unusual songs out right now, explaining why something is a hit and why something is quite frankly…a bit shit. He will dissect the very entrails of the music industry with all the insight of a man described by the gutter press as a “cat-suit wearing noughties rock legend”. There will be no catsuit but he will be posing important questions that pertain to the world of music and culture, and with your help may bring about world peace by the end of the night.
