The Damned Mark 50 Years With Final Damnation 50 UK Tour
Half a century after lighting the fuse on British punk, The Damned are heading back out on UK stages for a 50th anniversary celebration titled Final Damnation 50.
The tour follows their triumphant anniversary show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley and lands after a wider global run that includes Sydney Opera House and a major North American return.
The legendary line-up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, Paul Gray and Monty Oxymoron will perform songs from across the band’s gloriously unruly catalogue, spanning punk, goth and psychedelia.
The Saints ’73-’78 Join As Special Guests
Adding extra firepower, Australian punk pioneers The Saints ’73-’78 will appear as special guests. The line-up features founding members Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay, alongside Mick Harvey, Jim White and Mark Arm on vocals.
They will perform material from the band’s first three landmark albums: (I’m) Stranded, Eternally Yours and Prehistoric Sounds.
