The band teased the tour this week during their interview and eye-catching performance on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch. The most recent in a string of high-profile TV performances which has also seen them perform on the revered Later With Jools Holland, interviewed by BBC Breakfast and more.

It’s been a whirlwind year for the rock icons, who shot straight to No.2 in the Official UK Albums Chart with their latest record Smile via Earache Records. The widely acclaimed release led the band to receive the Best Alternative Music Act Award at the MOBOs, while they are also nominated for Best UK Act at the forthcoming Heavy Music Awards.

Skindred played their largest headline show to date at Wembley Arena in 2024, while they have also continued to prove the hunger for the band internationally, performing to rabid crowds in each corner of the world including their first ever show in New Zealand and most recently conquering Sick New World festival in Las Vegas.
