Punk rockers The Damned have planned a tour of North and South America next year and they are featuring their band lineup from the early 1980’s with Captain Sensible, Dave Vanian, Rat Scabies, and Paul Gray.

Band members spoke on the upcoming tour saying, “The Damned are delighted to announce a first for Rat and several firsts for the rest of the lads when in March they finally get to play South America proper, with shows in Brazil, Peru, Chile & Argentina.  As Mexico proved to us, there are many loyal fans in South America that never had the chance to witness the Damned in full flight we played a great show that night and not one of them complained, so we still got it…”

They added, “and while we have your attention we would like to announce a tour of North America during May which leads us to even more good news, which is that we will be joined by both The Bellrays & The Adverts. This is not going to be a show to miss!

Tickets are on sale now for the shows set to begin early in March.
