When darts fans hear the intro to "Charlemagne" by Blossoms, they know it's about to be followed up by an electric walk-on by Nathan Aspinall.
Nathan Aspinall's walk-on has become one of the more iconic moments in darts in the past couple of years, and sometimes even overshadows the player he is.
Whether it's in front of a sold-out arena during the Premier League or in a small venue on the European Tour, everyone knows the words and sings their hearts out together.
Aspinall made the cut for Premier League Darts in 2025 but was criticized for only making it because of his popular walk-on.
Aspinall has proved the doubters wrong, currently sitting in a play-off position going into the final week before the play-off.
What is Nathan Aspinall's darts walk-on song?
Aspinall walks on to the beloved "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers.
The song has over 2.6 billion streams on Spotify.
In 2024 Aspinall ironically voiced how he's gotten sick of the song and almost changed it, but decided to keep it for the fans.

'Mr. Brightside' lyrics
verse
Coming out of my cage, and I′ve been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep, and she′s calling a cab
While he's having a smoke, and she's taking a drag
Now they′re going to bed, and my stomach is sick
And it′s all in my head, but she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now, let me go
pre-chorus
I just can′t look, it's killing me
And taking control
chorus
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis
But it′s just the price I pay, destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I′m Mr. Brightside
