Founded in 2021 by singer-songwriter Nerys John, The Beautiful Darkness is an emerging rock band that blends goth and grunge influences into a unique sound. Known for its haunting melodies and powerful guitar riffs, the band explores themes of introspection and self -discovery. Nerys John created The Beautiful Darkness during a period of deep reflection, channeling personal emotions into music that resonates with listeners.

The debut single Victim (March 2024) was followed by Tears Fall Down (August 2024) and The Narcissist (October 2024), each track diving deeper into the complexities of identity and emotion.

The Beautiful Darkness continues to carve its place in the rock scene with music that is both raw and reflective.

Speaking about the 2025 Unleashed Tour, The Beautiful Darkness explains: “I’m not sure I can put into words exactly how excited I am about the upcoming live dates – For me this is an absolute dream come true. Being able to bring The Beautiful Darkness to a live crowd and to connect with the energy of the audience means we can create something really special. I’m absolutely stoked!”

The special guest for the dates in Hull and Woking will be Leoni Jane Kennedy.

Leoni Jane Kennedy is an award-winning musician and songwriter, PRS Guitars artist endorsee and Freddie Mercury Scholarship Winner. Having received 4th position in the latest public vote of Prog Magazine for “best new artist” category, this rising star is described by The New York Times as “a portal to something passionate and powerful” and shows no sign of slowing down with her debut originals album “Synthetic” being released this year after her well received first album – a Rush acoustic re-interpretation compilation which over 5K in funds was raised to make via a successful Kickstarter campaign. Leoni Jane Kennedy is recognised by most of the UK Industry as ‘one to watch out for’.

“When I judged ‘Rock the House Under 19’s National competition in London in 2014, 13 year old Leoni blew me away with her talent. Fast forward two years and a video of Leoni covering a prog rock song by Rush got 17,000 hits in 48 hours via Planet Rock’s website. Acoustic or electric, solo or with a band, Leoni definitely has a bright future!” – Paul Anthony (Planet Rock Radio)
