Bad Manners

Get ready to skank till you drop as Bad Manners, the irrepressible kings of British ska, tear across the UK on a riotous autumn 2026 tour. Known for their thunderous brass sections, infectious rhythms, and the legendary larger-than-life frontman Buster Bloodvessel, Bad Manners have been igniting dancefloors since the late 1970s and show absolutely no signs of slowing down. Expect a sweat-soaked celebration of classic tracks like 'Lip Up Fatty', 'Special Brew', and 'Can Can' delivered with the kind of raw, joyous energy that only a band this seasoned and this passionate can bring. The tour sweeps through some of the UK's most iconic O2 venues, kicking off at O2 City Hall Newcastle on September 30, storming through O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London on October 2, O2 Guildhall Southampton on October 3, before heading north to O2 Academy Leicester, O2 Ritz Manchester, and beyond. Each night promises a high-octane carnival atmosphere where first-timers and lifelong fans alike lose themselves in the unstoppable groove of Britain's most beloved ska outfit. Whether you caught Bad Manners during the Two-Tone boom or you're discovering their explosive catalogue for the first time, these shows are an unmissable slice of living musical history. Dress up, turn up, and prepare for a night of non-stop dancing, laughter, and the kind of communal euphoria that only live ska music can deliver. Don't miss your chance to be part of the party.
