Skindred Will Make You Smile On UK Tour

Welsh reggae metallars Skindred have announced a UK & Ireland headline tour for autumn 2023, this follows a summer full of festival dates as well as opening for the mighty KISS on their final UK leg as part of their End Of The Road World Tour. Speaking on the headline tour drummer Arya Goggin says: “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

Skindred are widely recognised as one of the UK’s most exciting live bands and have also been nominated for Best UK Live Act at the Heavy Music Awards 2023. Having blasted dancefloors to smithereens just before Christmas with their ferocious anthem Gimme That Boom, Skindred returned last week with another instant classic in the form of Set Fazers. The second single to be taken from their forthcoming album Smile it’s an addictive sci-fi slam-dunk designed to quake arenas and festivals around the planet this summer.

Lead singer Benji Webbe states: “Star date 22.3.23: With this song we’re boldly going where no ragga-metal has gone before. We come in peace, L.O.V.E and unity, to bring Skindred’s outergalactic sound-system to the infinite expanse of the cosmos.”

Ahead of the autumn shows, Skindred are set to be igniting moshpits and stages in coming months as they headline both Takedown and Dominion Festivals in the UK before heading out on a massive arena run as Special Guests of American legends KISS on their much-anticipated farewell tour.
