The sport of darts is all about the entertainment. From the compelling characters to the high-drama action, and of course the unique walk-ons which gives you a glimpse into the personalities of your favourite players.

With that said, here are the Top 10 greatest darts entrance themes of all time.

10 King of Kings- Motörhead (Mervyn King)

A walkout song befitting a King, the gritty and raw vocals perfectly match up with Mervyn King’s no-nonsense demeanour. Both by name and sound, this player-song combination is a match made in heaven.

9 Eye of the Tiger- Survivor (Raymond van Barneveld)

A song that gets you prepared for battle, as it has done for Barney for many years with enormous success. The former five-time World Champion knows how to get himself and the crowd hyped up for the big occasions, and his choice in walk-on song is a contributing factor.

8 Seven Nation Army- The White Stripes (Michael Van Gerwen)

“OH MICHAEL VAN GERWEN.” A staple chant at the darts and it all stems from his longtime walk-on song which has become synonymous which the Dutch darting legend. When you hear that initial bassline, you know you are in for a treat- unless you are his opposition.

7 I’m Still Standing- Elton John (James Wade)

A tame song compared to others on the list, but importantly one that represents the career and life of James Wade, who has had many battles both on and off the oche, including being diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder.

This song sends the message of resilience and shows that his longevity at the top level is something that should be admired.

6 Jump Around- House of Pain (Gary Anderson)

Not a player-song combo you would necessarily expect, in fact, Anderson himself doesn’t exactly recall how it came to be, but it is one that works surprisingly well and has become adored by fans. The infectious, party anthem nature of the song raises the roof every time without fail, and as a result has an all-timer walk-on song.

5 Down Under- Men at Work (Simon Whitlock)

The unofficial Aussie theme song, instantly recognisable by its catchy beat and flute melody. This song, coupled with his signature beard and braided hair, have made Whitlock endeared by fans for many years, “The Wizard” has always know how to create a magical atmosphere.

4 Sweet Caroline- Neil Diamond (Daryl Gurney)

If there is one song that gets a UK crowd up and singing, it’s Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. An iconic track, guaranteed to get even the most stubborn of crowds on your side, and one that has helped build up some of the best atmospheres across any sport.

3 Titanium- David Guetta and Sia (Stephen Bunting)

The People’s Champ, Stephen Bunting is the owner of one of the most electric walk-ons in the game. The sight of “The Bullet” orchestrating the crowd, who continue to serenade him after the song has stopped, is one that will never get old.

The energy he is given from his loyal fanbase has seen him turn in many ‘bulletproof’ performances.

2 Mr Brightside- The Killers (Nathan Aspinall)

By his own admission, Aspinall is sick of hearing this song. However, he is also very aware of the energy it brings to the crowd, which he feeds off when on the oche. A truly iconic walk-on song that is guaranteed to perk up even the quietest of fans. 

1 Reach Up (Papa’s Got a Brand New Pigbag)- Perfecto Allstarz (Adrian Lewis)

Adrian Lewis is one of the all-time fan favourites in the sport, and he hit the “Jackpot” when he chose his walk-on song. A real crowd energiser, and a tune that is synonymous with chants in other sports such as football.

A fantastic pick from the former two-time world champion, who boasts one of the most iconic walk-ons ever, amongst his many other accolades.
