Skindred announce huge Wembley Arena show
It will be their biggest ever headliner
The Newport helicopter is set to fly into new territory as Skindred have announced their biggest headline show to date.
The Welsh band will headline London’s Wembley OVO Arena on 15 March 2024.
They will also play shows at Manchester Academy on 14 March and Birmingham O2 Academy on 16 March.
Frontman Benji Webbe said of the Wembley show: “Standing on that stage is a mark of sheer hard work. We have stood upon that stage supporting many truly great acts. Now it’s Skindred’s time to take the headline slot.
“You may think you’ve seen us, however this is our opportunity to rise, and to step up like never before!
“My Sound we come to take over and truly come to rock Wembley with a heart full of gratitude and a set full of the most rockin’ tunes that we have ever played live. Unity, love and togetherness. Let’s ‘ave it. Quadruple XL.”
The announcement comes as the band prepare to release 8th studio album ‘Smile’, which is out on Friday (4 August).
It was recorded in the midst of the pandemic with producer Julian Emery and looks set to channel the eclectic range of styles Skindred are known for, with elements of reggae, metal, rock, pop, dub and electro.
Watch: Skindred - 'Unstoppable'
Fans who pre-order a copy of ‘Smile’ from label Earache will be able to access an exclusive ticket pre-sale for the newly announced shows on Friday at 10am. Tickets go on general sale at 10am Monday 7th August.
