Skids
Scottish punk rock/new wave band
Emerging from Dunfermline in 1977, Skids are renowned for their dynamic contribution to the British punk and new wave landscape. A staple of Scotland’s musical heritage, Skids blend the raw energy of punk with the melodic sensibilities of new wave, producing influential tracks and albums that have resonated across generations. Their enduring impact is encapsulated in celebrated recordings such as “A Woman in Winter,” “A Day in Europa,” and “Animation,” while their recent compilations, notably the 2024 release “1978–1980 Last Night From Glasgow Presents BBC Sessions,” have reaffirmed their place in the annals of UK alternative music.
Skids continue to command stages across the UK with their compelling live shows. In May 2026, they headlined the Boilerroom in Guildford, and earlier that year, they took centre stage at London’s iconic Electric Ballroom. They have also been featured as a support act alongside legendary names, sharing billing with The Stranglers and Buzzcocks at St Nicholas Park in Warwick (July 2025), as well as supporting Subhumanz at the Undercover Festival in Essex. This commitment to the live experience has kept Skids at the heart of the UK’s gig circuit, celebrated for their electric performances and the communal energy of their concerts.
For those seeking authentic new wave and punk concerts, Skids’ upcoming tour dates include support slots with UK Subs at Manchester Academy and Edinburgh Corn Exchange. With an influential back catalogue and an active presence on stage, Skids remain essential listening for fans of live music.
