The Specials Concert Tickets
Get The Specials tickets now to see an amazing performance live by a great entertainer. As the punk era faded, Coventry-based The Specials used its energy to reinvent old Jamaican ska in an invigorating dance style. Clad in pork pie hats and mohair suits, they used the 2 Tone name of their label to define new music rooted in reggae yet laced with modern social commentary. Main architects Jerry Dammers, Terry Hall and Lynval Golding created an infectious sound that developed into its own youth cult with 'Too Much Too Young', the lead track on their chart-topping 'The Special AKA Live' EP.
Dammers' 1981 song 'Ghost Town' defined the frustrations of a generation blighted by unemployment in the Thatcher era and the band had seven consecutive UK top ten hits between 1979 and 1981 before Hall, Golding and Staple split to form Fun Boy Three. Led by Dammers, The Specials had another iconic hit in 1984 with the protest anthem 'Free Nelson Mandela' sung by Stan Campbell. After a long period of inactivity, they successfully reunited in 2008 without Dammers. They released a new live album 'More... Or Less - The Specials Live' before announcing the departure of singer Neville Staple due to ill health and the death of John Bradbury. A tour for 2019 was revealed alongside the brand new album 'Encore'. Get your The Specials tickets today!
