July 14, 2004

The Irish Examiner is reporting that British rockers THE DARKNESS will net a staggering £10 million ($18.55 million) after agreeing to perform a 18-date arena tour this autumn.

The band will tour their native Britain in November, and plan to conclude with a three-date finale at the country's famous Wembley Arena venue.

Insiders predict revenue from the tickets, which are likely to sell at £50 ($92.8) each, plus profit from merchandising will bring the four-piece the huge figure.

Lead singer Justin Hawkins says: "The arena tour in November will be amazing.

"I am looking forward to the end of it which will be at Wembley."

Following the tour, the band will return to the studio to complete work on their second album.
