British reggae-metal band, Skindred have just announced their upcoming UK/Ireland tour which will commence in the autumn period this year. Purchases for pre-tickets will be available on Wednesday 29 March at 10 am. General sales will begin on Friday 31 March for the 11-date tour that will take place in October and November this year.
This announcement also follows the release of their new album, Smile, which marks their eighth long player and their first for Earache Records. In addition, this also marks 25 years since their debut album, which Skindred will acknowledge and celebrate. Pre-orders of the new album will be released on August 4.
UK + Ireland! We're bringing you a headline tour this Autumn!
Arya Goggin, the tour drummer for the band said, “There is a lot to Smile about when it comes to this TOUR! We are taking out an amazing new band called BlackGold too. They are bringing Nu Metal back and I think ‘Dred fans will love them. Go check ‘em out!”
Skindred’s recognition as one of the UK’s most exciting live bands is widely recognised and have also been nominated for ‘Best UK Live Act’ at the Heavy Music Awards 2023. Prior to their upcoming autumn show, the band are no strangers to igniting moshpits in upcoming months to come, as they will headline for both Takedown and Dominion Festivals in the UK, just before they will appear as special guests for American rock legends, KISS on their anticipated farewell tour.
The unparalleled live set will be brought alive by the band, as they are set to perform on the main stages of 2000 Trees and Maid Of Stone Festivals in the UK, with the addition of special appearances at various other key European festivals that also include a few acts, with the likes of Wacken Open Air, With Full Force Festival, NovaRock and Grasspop.
Resourceful information regarding exclusive ticket pre-sales via pre-orders will be available on the Earache Webstore site with no purchase necessary.
