Legendary rockers The Damned are going on tour once again, in what they are calling The Final Damnation Tour. The band, who first formed in 1976, are the punk legends who brought such massive hits as New Rose, Love Song, Smash It Up and Shadow Of Love to the airwaves. Their die-hard fans may have just seen the Dave Vanian-fronted band perform at London’s Wembley Arena earlier this year, but later this year, they’re swapping to massive theatre and concert halls.
The Damned will be playing seven enormous shows around the country beginning on November 25, 2026. The gigs, which come to an end on December 5, 2026, will see them performing in Brighton, Bristol, London, Manchester, Newcastle and more. Tickets for these events are already out right now, and we’ve listed all the details fans need to get involved below.
Speaking out about this upcoming tour, two of the band have expressed great excitement about their return to stages.
Rat Scabies said: “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 added: “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.”
