The Specials have announced details of a full-scale European tour for 2011, including 13 shows in the UK.
Following their 30th anniversary tour in April 2009, Coventry's finest 2Tone export, The Specials, will play a full-scale autumn UK tour next year as part of a wider European tour. Selling out venues across the world in 2009, audiences were wild to see The Specials perform once again, having waited since 1981!
Now, 30 years since the release of The Specials' massive Number One single 'Ghost Town', Terry Hall, Lynval Golding, Neville Staple, Roddy Byers, Horace Panter and John Badbury will explode onto stages across England, Scotland and Wales to entertain both old and young fans with steller performances of songs from their legendary two albums. Be prepared to stomp like your life depended on it!
The Special's 2011 UK tour will get underway with two shows at Wolverhampton's Civic Hall on October 1st and October 12th. The tour then visits eleven more venues including gigs in Manchester, Glasgow, Plymouth and Cardiff before a hometown show at Coventry's Ricoh Arena followed by a date at London's Alexandra Palace on November 3rd.
