THE ENGLISH BEAT returning to NZ this May!
New Zealand show update - CHRISTCHURCH SOLD OUT
Given the fact that their 2012 Auckland show was sold out, it comes as no surprise that demand in New Zealand for The English Beat is stronger than ever!
With their tour just weeks away, tickets are becoming thin on the ground and in Christchurch you can’t get any! The show is SOLD OUT!
Those planning to catch The Beat in Auckland or Wellington better get to it if they haven’t already as it’s likely they will ALL be gone soon!
ENGLISH BEAT NZ TOUR DATES 2014

The forefathers of Ska, led by Dave Wakeling and his all-star posse, are preparing for their imminent skanking session of NZ and will be treating their fans to some seriously swinging shows!
Charging onto the scene as ‘the hottest thing since the Pennsylvania meltdown’ in 1979, Birmingham’s Ska Kings sustained an equally explosive career, spearheading the British Ska movement alongside influential acts like The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners and The Selecter. Their sound is a cosmic blend of ska, punk and reggae. Hypnotic, rhythmic and danceable while remaining politically aware and socially active.
“the energy of punk and the groove of dub in a three minute single” The English Beat
The current US-based incarnation boasts a setlist jam packed with fan favourites – Mirror In the Bathroom, Save It For Later, Too Nice to Talk To, Stand Down Margaret, Hands Off She’s Mine, I Confess and their 2Tone Records debut, a skankin’ cover of Smokey Robinson’s classic, Tears Of A Clown to name a few! Plus NZ Top 10 hit, I’ll Take You There
If last visit’s Sold Out show at the Powerstation in Auckland is anything to go by, there is no need to think twice – tickets will go fast, because The English Beat is very much alive, kicking and more infectious than ever!!
"Dave Wakeling and his posse doled out the sweetness and ska everyone had come for." Tone Deaf
