London— Monday 7th April 2025 — Today The Beautiful Darkness Announces New June 2025 UK ‘Unleashed Tour’ Date & Special Guestswhich will see her take her unique sound throughout the UK in 2025.
The headline tour will begin with a hometown show in Cardiff, Wales on Tuesday 15th April 2025 followed throughout the year with dates in Hull, Manchester, Leicester, Woking and Birmingham.
A new headline date has been announced for Saturday 14th June 2025 at The Twisted Tongue in Whitehaven, Cumbria and will be part of the ‘Unleashed Tour’.
In addition, the special guests for her April 2025 hometown show in Cardiff, Wales have been announced as FFANCLWB. FFANCLWB are a 2-piece Wenglish Alternative Rock band from Swansea and Birmingham, Wales/England. The band formed in 2024 from a collection of two drummers who met at university. Their unique sound fuses hard hitting grooves and heavy bass with melodic synth lines.
FFANCLWB Name Origins:
The band name stemmed from us wanting to combine the Welsh/ English representation of us but still being readable.
If we were to be a straight Welsh translation to Fanclub it would be Clwbffan, where as to cater to the English side of things and for us to be universally viewed we flipped it around for the sweet spot in the middle as the Wenglish in between.
“We Are More” is the first in a line of singles from the Alternative Rock debutantes ‘FFANCLWB’ which is out now.
The track is a love letter to the working class in both its want for nostalgia whilst also tackling some of the hard- hitting realities of dealing with what we all have to deal with. This track is a reminder that we are worth more and are not alone.
Band Members:
Tobias Alexander – Bass/Guitar/Backing Vocals
Stasys Sliauteris – Drums/Synth/Lead Vocal

Sheffield-based band Flying Rats will also perform at the Tiny Rebel, Cardiff, Wales date.
For the dates in Hull, Manchester, Leicester and Woking, The Beautiful Darkness will be joined by special guest Leoni Jane Kennedy for a solo acoustic set.
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)
