Darts walk-on songs: All the anthems and music from Luke Littler, Luke Humphries and more | Darts News

by

Christmas is just around the corner, and so is one of the highlights in the sporting calendar – the World Darts Championship.

The festive season is synonymous with music, and so are the Worlds at Alexandra Palace – ‘Chasing the Sun’ by Planet Funk on loop for the next month, anyone?

In addition to darts’ iconic anthem, players use their respective walk-on songs to get them in the zone as they head to the oche on the biggest stage in the game.

With 96 players in action at the Ally Pally this year, keeping track of all the tunes looks as tough as hitting a nine-darter!

But fear not, in the true spirit of ‘Dartsmas’, we have listed every walk-on song from the 32 ranked players competing at this year’s tournament.

And, as an extra little gift, we have thrown in a Spotify playlist to listen to them on, and included some of the finest walk-on video content to whet the appetite ahead of the Worlds. Enjoy!
