Music pioneers The Damned head to Eastbourne Winter Garden on 14 December!
This tour welcomes drummer Rat Scabies back to the stage, who has re-joined the band for tours, festivals and more in 2024. One of the original founding members, Scabies puts it simply – ‘’Be careful what you wish for.’’
Revisiting the music from their 80s line-up, audiences can expect songs from Machine Gun Etiquette, The Black Album and Strawberries, as well as The Damned fan favourite tracks like Neat Neat Neat, New Rose and more.
Following their formation in 1976, The Damned became the first UK punk band to officially release a single, ‘New Rose’, and an album Damned Damned Damned. With 12 studio albums and several UK chart singles, the band are pioneers who emerged from the London punk scene, earning an ever-expanding fan base fuelled by legendary live shows. Their dark lyrics and Dave Vanian’s rich baritone vocals also catapulted The Damned to the forefront of the Goth-Rock Genre. The Damned of today defy any categorisation and the ease of which songs from all phases of their career fit together in this ground-breaking spectacle is absolute proof.
47 years after releasing their groundbreaking debut, Damned Damned Damned, The Damned released their twelfth studio album Darkadelic earlier this year, reaching the Top 10 in the UK Albums Chart.
THE DAMNED line-up are:
Dave Vanian – Vocals
Captain Sensible – Guitar
Rat Scabies – Drums
Paul Gray – Bass
Monty Oxymoron – Keyboards
