Skindred
Never ones to rest for long, Skindred are pleased to announce that they will be heading out on an extensive 25 date tour this Winter with tickets for the tour going on sale this coming Friday 31st August at 10am. Skindred drummer Arya Goggin said:
Whenever we announce a UK tour we get posts from fans saying why are you not playing here, so we thought in acknowledgement 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 it’s 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.
