Skindred Announce Major UK And Ireland Headline Tour For 2026

Welsh ragga Metal titans Skindred have announced a major UK and Ireland headline tour in support of their new album You Got This.

Widely regarded as one of the best live bands on the planet, Skindred are set to bring their explosive energy to Nottingham, Birmingham, Dublin, Belfast and Glasgow. The tour will also feature a special Halloween show at London’s Alexandra Palace.

The tour follows the success of their latest single Can I Get A, which premiered on BBC 6Music and was named Track of the Week on Virgin Radio. The band continue to fuse Heavy riffs with dancehall rhythms, delivering their signature high-energy sound.

Joining Skindred for select dates are nu-Metal favourites Alien Ant Farm, alongside Spineshank and Orgy. These bands will appear at the Alexandra Palace show and Birmingham date, with additional support acts to be announced.

“We wanted to do something really special to support the release of our new album You Got This,” Arya Goggins, Skindred drummer, said. “After touring with our friends Alien Ant Farm in Europe last year, we had to bring them to the UK to join the Skindred party.

“Halloween is always such a special night, for both us and our fans, so this year our annual Night of the Living Dred show will be its biggest ever at London’s Alexandra Palace.

“Along with Alien Ant Farm, we have Spineshank and Orgy joining us. It’s going to be a really special night with loads of surprises.”
