Skindred Drummer Arya Goggin said ìWhenever we announce a UK tour we get posts from fans saying why are you not playing here, so we thought in acknowledgment of this we would try and play everywhere. Hopefully, we will be able to add some Irish shows to the calendar too just to complete the run. Playing the UK is special to us and itís not just about playing in the six or seven biggest Cities, it is about getting out there and playing some of the smaller towns which are often starved of shows and often these make for some of the best shows we have played.

Skindred is all about supporting the Live music industry and supporting your local music venue so we could not be more excited to be doing this tour.
