They have been planning this for over a year - I announced it a a disco back then after Justin's family admitted it to a mutual friend. At least it's still going ahead, and they havent changed their minds.

So will it a return for the “Soaring Falsetto”, I wonder? Are the original members of the band reforming - or will it be a band of the same name with some different components?

I loved them first time around, because they were all real musicians, they could all play their instruments well, not a studio machine made sound and they brought back good old rock music with fun and glamour.

The Darkness reform with Download slot confirmed
Rock band The Darkness have reformed and announced that they will play this year's Download festival. All four original members of the band have reunited and will record a new album in April and May 2011. The Darkness released two studio albums, winning three Brit awards in 2004, but the Suffolk band broke up in 2006 when singer Justin Hawkins quit. Hawkins told Newsbeat he'd been making tracks with his brother Dan, the band's guitarist, for a couple of years. "It was frustrating for a long time to not be able to tell anybody because we've had to sort of keep it a secret.
"It was like a forbidden romance without the trail," he joked. He also said he didn't know what to expect from the band's comeback. "The main thing for us is to make sure that musically we turn the experience into something positive again. "We've been remembering why it was so much fun in the first place, just four men making loud music in a room," he said. And he revealed he would be updating the colourful one-piece bodysuits which he was known to wear in the band's first spell in the charts. "I think it should be a new phase and that should be extended to the clothing. Not a lesser phase, if anything a cranked up version. They'll be more good."
When he left in 2006 the other members of the band released a statement saying they were in "total shock". The ex-members of the band had been involved in other projects since, with Justin Hawkins forming Hot Leg and his brother Dan plus drummer Ed Graham starting The Stone Gods. But both those projects were put on hold in December 2010, sparking rumours the Darkness would reform.
Def Leppard, System Of A Down and Linkin Park have also been confirmed for Download, which takes place at Donington Park in Derbyshire in June. Funeral For A Friend, Framing Hanley, Hyro Da Hero, Kvelertak and Plain White T's have also been added to the line-up.

That's when he kept them ON
(My Daughter knew him) I say that because now there is no contact between them as he snubbed common folk
And If my daughter reads this she will probably snub me for letting on she knows Justin

The Darkness’ Justin Hawkins has said he is “gobsmacked” by the fan response to news that The Darkness are reforming.
The spandex-clad rockers, who split in 2007, have got back together in their original line-up to make a new album and play the Download Festival.
Writing on his Twitter page, Twitter.com/justinhawkins, the singer said he was "overwhelmed" after being bombarded with positive messages from fans.
"Thanks for all the lovely messages of support," he wrote. "I'm gobsmacked and overwhelmed by all the positivity in and around The Darkness!"

I followed the Darkness on their web-site before they disbanded and I was so sorry when they split, I was so proud of their acheivements at that time, and I remember with sadness when it happened, now I am so pleased they are back and they will go far I am sure, Dan was the good-looking one, but I thought Justin was charasmatic, great that munga knew Justin, and rated him as a good guy, same impression I got about him.
