The Darkness
Appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2003
The Darkness were an English hard rock band. They were widely regarded as a glam rock band, but the members disputed this and saw themselves as a classic hard-rock band.
Their highly retro style of music was influenced by rock bands like Queen, AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, Sparks, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, T. Rex, Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy. They were best known for the soaring falsetto of their lead singer Justin Hawkins, whose departure in 2006 resulted in the dissolution of the band
