NEWCASTLE, WE’RE GOING SKA! 🎺
WonderBar Gigs is going ska on Friday 29th January, in association with Independent Venue Week, and we’re bringing two cracking bands to Newcastle City Centre for a night built for dancing & singing.
📅 Friday 29th January
⏰ 7pm
🎫 Earlier you purchase your tickets the cheaper!
SKAPONES
Headlining are The Skapones , the Darlington-born ska outfit who’ve spent over a decade making their mark on the scene.
With a catalogue of original releases, chart-topping singles and a reputation built across the UK, Europe and beyond, these are no strangers to a proper ska party.
SUPPORT: ROOKIE NUMBERS
Joining them are Rookie Numbers , a seven-piece bringing a new generation of ska to the table. Blending classic 2 Tone with the fast-paced electronic sounds of drum and bass.
Two bands, two takes on the genre and one night to celebrate the music, the people and the independent venues that keep live music thriving.
Dig out your dancing shoes, round up your mates and get ready to skank your way through Friday night.
