the specials

SKA legends The Specials have announced details of their brand new UK tour.

Having refrained from touring the UK for two years, the Terry Hall fronted pioneers are preparing to bring their hit filled catalogue to venues across the UK in October and November.

Set to be the band’s first shows since the saddening loss of drummer John Bradbury, Hall said of the upcoming dates that: “We started working on these dates last October. Everyone was really looking forward to them & then just after Christmas Brad passed away. It was devastating but in our heart of hearts we know he would want us to continue with the plan he helped to put together”

Set to feature a show at Glasgow’s O2 Academy,  tickets will be available from this Friday at 9 AM.
