The Alexandra Palace Walk-on Phenomenon
At the PDC World Darts Championship, a player's walk-on is much more than an entrance—it sets the atmospheric tone for the entire match. Over 3,000 fans in fancy dress sing along in unison to iconic arena anthems, from Pitbull's "Don't Stop the Party" to The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army".
Walk-ons also trigger substantial search demand from viewers watching at home on television asking: "What song did Luke Littler walk on to?" or "Why does Michael van Gerwen use Seven Nation Army?". Explore our complete PDC Walk-On Songs Directory for origins, artists, and crowd chants.
