Liam Gallagher set for wild Wetherspoons night with The Darkness as they predict 'scrap'

The Darkness have invited Liam Gallagher on a wild night out to Wetherspoons – which they jokingly hoped would end in a “big scrap.”

The British glam rockers started plotting their “hilarious” pub venture with the former Oasis front man during an exclusive chat with Daily Star’s Sam Huntley.

The band just announced their co-headline tour with US rock band Black Stone Cherry, which will see them dazzle crowds across the country next year.

The stadium tour will kick off early next year with arena shows in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and Cardiff before an epic conclusion on February 4 at London’s OVO Arena at Wembley.

When asked if they’d take Liam Gallagher on an epic night out on the town, the band were all in with a venue already in mind.

Singer Justin seemed up for treating the Manchester legend to a two-for-one meal at the popular British pub chain.

He replied: “That would be f***ing hilarious, yeah. Why not.”

Drummer Rufus added: “It would have to be a pub, wouldn’t it?” before Justin suggested: “Wetherspoons? Two for one. Two-for-one meal.”

Rufus then quipped: “A big scrap at the end,” perhaps a nod to Liam’s bad-boy reputation.

The Oasis frontman has had some rather famous bust-ups over the years, such as when he lost his two front teeth during a brawl in Munich back in 2002.

The Darkness also started plotting an epic supergroup with Foo Fighters and Biffy Clyro, after lining up a future project with their tour buddies Black Stone Cherry.

The boys reckoned they could recreate Rod Stewart’s iconic 1993 hit All For Love, with Sting and Bryan Adams.

Justin said: “He said: “I’d be really surprised if we don’t end up doing something collaborative with the Black Stone Cherry music crew. Failing that… who is the most successful one at the moment?”

When Sam suggested Dave Grohl’s Foos and Scottish titans Biffy, Justin replied: “We’ll do Foo Fighters, Biffy and us. Yeah. We could do Rod Stewart, Sting and Bryan Adams [All For Love].”

Bass player Frankie Poullain added: “I think it would be great to collaborate with a much younger band, because then you learn so much. They would learn a lot from us and we would learn a lot from them. It’s just a great symbiosis.”

When asked his thoughts on Harry Styles, Justin was full of praise for the former One Direction star, who recently headlined Wembley Stadium with his Harry’s House tour.

Justin said: “He’s a really good role model for everybody, basically. He’s just a nice bloke, isn’t he? And he’s doing stuff that has an eerie familiarity about it, but ultimately it’s pop music and he’s the most popular one. So he’s just doing his job really, really well, I think.”

Hawkins insisted Harry was doing “retro stuff in a really clever way” by borrowing elements from 80s hits and putting a fresh spin on them to make them his own.

One example he used was Harry’s hit song As It Was and A-Ha’s classic 1984 track, Take On Me, which he says share the same chord sequence but start at different points.

Justin said: “It’s got a lot of the same sort of production trickery and the sort of cadence to the sympathisers motif, but it is almost a re-interpretation of the sort of pallet of A-Ha. So he’s doing retro stuff in a really clever way. He’s taking the really important bits of that song, distilling it with a clever producer and when people hear A-Ha now they’re reminded of Harry Styles.

“I don’t think it will be like that in forty years. I think in forty years, people will go ‘that sounds like A-Ha’, they’re not going to say that sounds like Harry Styles, but for the moment that’s how pop music works. You do something that gets the attention.

“As opposed to the Kate Bush phenomenon where a TV program has put a really great song [out there], Harry Styles has very cleverly taken the elements of something of the same era as that Kate Bush song and made it his.”

The band were buzzing at their upcoming tour, which Justin hailed as a “brilliant opportunity” to get back into arenas before suggesting The Darkness should have been filling stadiums for decades.

Justin said: “It’s going to be a brilliant opportunity for us to get back into arenas, and nothing is exciting as the possibility, almost endless in terms of what we can do production wise. We’ve already started having conversations. That’s the sort of thing that excites a band like us, because I think arenas is what The Darkness should have been for the last 20 years!”

Tickets for The Darkness’ 2023 tour with Black Stone Cherry are on sale now and available here.
