The Darkness Amazes Fans With Surprise Holiday Appearance at St Pancras Station

      The Darkness thrilled fans today with an intimate piano performance at St Pancras Station in London.

      The band informed their followers on social media that something special was about to happen, leading to hundreds of fans gathering at the station's entrance to greet Justin and Dan Hawkins.

      The brotherly rock duo set up next to the station's iconic piano and launched into their beloved festival hit ‘Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End).’

      The atmosphere was lighthearted as the duo accepted requests, delivering renditions of Take That’s ‘Back For Good’ and a snippet of Radiohead’s ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out)’ alongside their own classics.

      The Darkness performed songs like ‘Givin’ Up,’ ‘Friday Night,’ and ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love,’ among others.

      Justin Hawkins shared, “As Santa gets ready to soar with his sleigh of Slays across the starry sky, squeezing through the exhaust flues of the nation’s heating systems, we, The Darkness, are prepping our Christmas tunes for a festive celebration! And what better venue than Britain’s beloved railway station? As commuters rush past, with mince pies crushed in their cold hands, we are excited to play the keys of Christmas Warmth and strum the Lute of Festive Light.”

      The Darkness will embark on an extensive tour next year, including a performance at The O2 Arena in London.

Apparat will launch his new album ‘A Hum Of Maybe’ on February 20th. The German producer's previous album, ‘LP5’, was released in 2019. However, thereafter, he faced an unusual challenge – as a previously prolific artist, Apparat encountered a significant bout of writer’s block. His attempts to overcome this left him fragmented, with Apparat – whose real name is Sacha Ring – finding it difficult to finish anything. When 2025 arrived, he decided to try a new approach – Apparat promised himself to generate a song idea every day, liberating himself from self-imposed pressure and the fear of criticism. He took these ideas into the studio, where his new album ‘A Hum Of Maybe’ was shaped earlier this year over a three-month period. Scheduled for release on February 20th – available for pre-order now – the album will be offered on limited edition double turquoise vinyl, double vinyl, CD, and in digital format. A deeply personal project, the recording sessions included contributions from several close friends as guest musicians. Philipp Johann Thimm co-wrote and co-produced the album, while Armenian-American vocalist KÁRYYN appears on ‘Tilth’, and Berlin-and Rome-based artist Jan-Philipp Lorenz (aka Bi Disc) features on ‘Pieces, Falling’. In addition to the release, Apparat has assembled a complete live band to perform several headline shows in 2026, including a performance at the London venue HERE At Outernet on February 3rd. The new track ‘An Echo Skips A Name’ is now available – it is introspective, emotive, and rich in lyrical detail, which you can listen to below. Glimmerine A Slow Collision Gravity Test Tilth – feat.
