Darts walk-on songs have always played a major role in darts. At first glance, it sounds totally strange. Why do darts songs, which encourage loudness before the start of a concentration-intensive sport , play such a large role?
Quite simply: darts is entertainment . Not just on stage, but also during the walk to the stage. The darts walk-on songs have even achieved cult status during some players' entrances.
They serve to celebrate the players' entrance . It's not for nothing that fans, after a while, associate a particular player with a particular song. The importance of darts walk-on songs is also so high because players market themselves over time, and the respective darts song becomes a player's trademark .
Another topic, of course, is the walk-on girls . For a long time, the players were accompanied to the stage by a so-called walk-on girl. This practice came to an abrupt end in 2018. The PDC cited the professionalization of darts as the official reason for ending the walk-on girls—and, to some extent, also as a means of equal rights for women in the sport.
People no longer want to see women as just escorts for men, but also as equal athletes on stage .
In this blog post, however, we'll first focus on the top 64 walk-on songs in the world rankings . Based on a star rating, we'll give our opinion on the Dart Walk-On songs. The following applies:
- 1 star = hardly any atmosphere
- 3 stars = great atmosphere.

Breathtaking Darts Walk On
We believe the darts walk-on songs are extremely important for the sport of darts. They connect fans and players in a unique way. They are comparable to a football club's anthem or the entrance music in a boxing match .
John Henderson's walk-on as a contender at the PDC Premier League was particularly moving. In his home country of Scotland, his walk-on was accompanied by traditional bagpipes.
This created a very moving and significant moment . John Henderson himself had tears in his eyes at one point. This walk-on must go down in history!
