Legendary UK punk act The Damned have announced a North American headlining tour that will surround their June 8th appearance at the recently announced No Values festival in Pomona, California. The outing will mark The Damned’s first US tour in 35 years featuring original drummer Rat Scabies, who recently rejoined the band.
The classic early ’80s lineup of Scabies, singer David Vanian, guitarist Captain Sensible, and bassist Paul Gray will kick off the 10-date tour on May 27th in Toronto, and wrap up the run June 15th in Portland, Oregon.
Tickets to select dates go on sale this Friday (March 1st) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, with other shows available via the band’s website. Fans can also check for deals or pick up tickets to sold-out shows via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.
According to a press release, The Damned will focus on selections from their late ’70s / early ’80s albums Machine Gun Etiquette, The Black Album, and Strawberries, as well as favorites from their first two albums Damned, Damned, Damned, and Music for Pleasure — including the 1976 song “New Rose,” considered the first-ever official UK punk single, preceding Sex Pistols and The Clash.
Prior to the North American run, The Damned will play shows in Japan and Australia in March. They also will tour the UK in August and December. Tickets for their non-stateside gigs are available here.
Remarking on his return to the band, Rat Scabies simply stated, “Be careful what you wish for.”
