The Damned - Final Damnation 50

Description

Half a century after igniting the fuse of the British punk explosion, The Damned announce a celebratory UK tour - Final Damnation 50. 

Following a triumphant 50th Anniversary show at the OVO Arena Wembley in April and a forthcoming global run that will include the Sydney Opera House and a massive North American return, they step back on British soil in November and December 2026 for ‘Final Damnation 50’.  

The first UK punk band to ever release a single, an album and tour the US, it is also a chance to catch the legendary line-up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, Paul Gray, and Monty Oxymoron.  

Rat Scabies - “Half a century on and who’d have thought we would still be upright and breathing? We never thought we’d make it this far and neither did you! But here we are, a finely tuned engine. The Damned still has the power and finesse to excite, entertain and accelerate into our 50th year.” 

Captain Sensible - “With 50 years of catalogue to choose from, only the best songs from our chequered history will be performed, and with the passion and commitment all good music lovers deserve. You know we won’t disappoint.” 

The Damned have been revelling in their own and punk's 50th anniversary, marking half a century since the great explosion of 1976 and the return of Rat Scabies on drums. At the OVO Arena Wembley gig on April 11th, they treated their faithful to 25 songs over 3 sets, reflecting their definitive influence on punk, goth and psychedelia.  

Earlier this year, they released an acclaimed covers album, Not Like Everybody Else, featuring tracks that the late, great founding member Brian James loved and that helped shape the band. 

And to ensure maximum fun, The Damned are bringing Australian punk pioneers, The Saints '73-'78 along as special guests.
