The Specials UK Tour Dates 2016

The Specials originally found fame in the late 70s and early 80s. They were part of a musical movement that revived ska music and successfully blended it with punk, to form a new genre known as 'two tone'. Between 1979 and 1981 The Specials had seven top-ten singles, including the two No.1 hits Too Much Too Young and Ghost Town.

The Specials reformed in 2008 and announced that they would undertake a 30th anniversary tour the following year. The anniversary tour was a huge success and sold out venues across the UK.

The Specials have announced a new UK tour for October and November 2016.
