The Skids, The Wildhearts, Penetration, TV Smith & The Bored Teenagers and Smalltown Tigers have been revealed as supports for The Damned.

The original line-up of Dave Vanian, Rat Scabies, Captain Sensible and Brian James will now be touring with The Damned in early 2022.

After originally detailing their comeback in the late autumn of last year with plans to tour in July 2021, those have been delayed to next February, ending with the two nights at the Eventim Apollo in London.




“They said it could never happen,” Captain Sensible said to Music Week. “So much for animosity and malice between this bunch of individuals – nobody thought we’d ever get back together again, but here we are!”

“I’ve got enough regrets in my life,” Rat Scabies added. “This is one regret I’m really pleased I’m not going to have.”

Tour dates:

February 2022
11 – Glasgow, O2 Academy
12 – Manchester, Apollo
