UK metal band Skindred are coming to NZ for the very first time, one show only, at Paraoa Brewing, Auckland on March 28.

Widely acknowledged as one of the most enthralling live bands on the planet, Skindred, produce the toughest and most infectious metal riffs colliding with the biggest, phattest hip hop and reggae grooves, cutting edge electronics and a razor-sharp pop sensibility.

In the last few months, they have achieved some massive milestones, having recently appeared live on, Later… with Jools Holland, toured with US band Kiss and now, they are set to perform their own headline show at London’s Wembley Arena.

Skindred will then head to Australia to play all three Knotfest festival shows in front of 30,000 music fans a day, followed by gracing our shores in Aotearoa to deliver a one of a kind club show. This will be the only time you will get to see this band live up close.

Tickets for the show are available here.

Skindred are also looking for a NZ support band. If you believe your band fit as support then write to squidinc.records@xtra.co.nz to pitch your band.
