Skindred announce 2024 UK shows – including their biggest gig at Wembley

Skindred have announced some UK shows for 2024, including their biggest-ever show at Wembley Arena.

The ragga-metallers will be coming to Wembley on March 15, with shows in Manchester and Birmingham on March 14 and 16 respectively.

“Standing on that stage is a mark of sheer hard work. We have stood upon that stage supporting many truly great acts,” said frontman Benji Webbe in a press release. “Now it’s Skindred’s time to take the headline slot.

“You may think you’ve seen us, however this is our opportunity to rise, and to step up like never before! My Sound we come to take over and truly come to rock Wembley with a heart full of gratitude and a set full of the most rockin’ tunes that we have ever played live. Unity, love and togetherness. Let’s ‘ave it. Quadruple XL.”

The shows are in support of the Newport band’s upcoming album ‘Smile’, which is out this Friday (August 4) via Earache.

Earlier this year, Skindred became unlikely TikTok stars after their song ‘Nobody’ sparked a new dance trend on the social media platform.

Webbe has now responded to the trend with his own video, trying out the choreography. “Seen people posting our song nobody,” Webbe wrote on his video. “Tried the dance that shit ain’t easy.”
