Legendary punk rockers, The Damned, are making history by reuniting their classic lineup after 35 years.

Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies, and Paul Gray, the quartet responsible for some of the band's most iconic moments, are set to grace Australia with a tour featuring highlights from their seminal albums, Machine Gun Etiquette, The Black Album, and Strawberries, along with fan favorites like 'Neat Neat Neat' and 'New Rose.'
Rat Scabies expressed the band's excitement for this reunion, emphasizing that they wanted to perform while still at their creative peak. The tour promises a dynamic showcase of punk history, including 'New Rose,' recognized as the first punk single preceding the Sex Pistols. The Damned's influence extended beyond punk, pioneering goth rock and inspiring the first wave of west coast hardcore in the United States.
"The Damned continue to redefine punk and more, reminding us all that their legacy is not just history – it's a living, breathing force."
Don't miss this historic moment as The Damned brings their unparalleled energy to Australia for the last time.
