Bad Manners: 50 years of ska mayhem!

Get ready to skank your heart out as Bad Manners mark their 50th anniversary with a massive UK tour this November and December 2025. Led by the unforgettable Buster Bloodvessel, the band remains a cornerstone of British ska - bold, brash, and brilliantly bonkers.

Emerging during the late ’70s ska revival, Bad Manners quickly made waves with their wild stage antics and infectious two-tone sound. They gained early fame through 2-Tone Records package tours and a standout appearance in the cult live documentary Dance Craze. With a catalogue of hits like “Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu,” “Lip Up Fatty,” “Special Brew,” and “Can Can,” they’ve earned their place as one of the UK’s most beloved live acts.

This anniversary tour promises sweaty club nights, stomping rhythms, and pure ska-fuelled chaos. So lace up your boots, tighten those braces, and get ready - because this is one celebration you won’t want to miss.
