The Specials tickets are now available to see the iconic ska band reform for a series of eagerly anticipated gigs at the Brixton Academy in May. In celebration of the band’s 30th anniversary of forming, The Specials tickets will enable fans of the band to see some of the first live performances by the band since way back in 1981.
Very special gigs
Those fortunate to get their hands on The Specials tickets for the five gigs at the Brixon Academy will be treated to the official revival of one of ska’s best-loved bands, and one of the most seminal. With an impressive reputation as being one of the best live bands of the late seventies and early eighties, The Specials tickets will no doubt be in steep demand as fans clamber to see a band that were properly together for a mere two years, nearly thirty years ago.
Iconic band
Despite only being together for such a short period of time, The Specials were, and still are, one of the most important bands in British music history. Hailing from Coventry, The Specials were the pioneers of the two-tone sound that merged punk and ska to considerable popular success. The Specials boasted eight top-ten singles in their short time together, including the haunting, era-defining sound of Ghost Town that topped the charts at the time of the Brixton Riots.
Classic ska tunes
The hugely political band that dealt with the Thatcherism, multiculturalism, industrial decline and much more still seem to be relevant today, and the gigs at the Brixton Academy will mark a much-welcomed return to the stage for the Coventry band. So if you’ve always wanted to sing along to classics like A Message To You, Rudy, Nelson Mandela, Gangsters and Ghost Town, pick up your tickets and head for Brixton.
The Specials tickets are available for performances at the Brixton Academy from Wednesday 6th May, Thursday 7th May, Friday 8th May, Monday 11th May and Tuesday 12th May 2009. To purchase tickets please click the Buy Tickets button or call 0870 4000 601.
