The Specials open SKAGATE WEEKENDER 2026 at Margarita on 3 July, bringing their 2 tone, new wave, reggae and rocksteady sound to the first night of the weekender. They are joined by Dakka Skanks, adding their high-energy live attack in support. Rookie Numbers, Cian Downing and Madame Claude deepen the line-up, keeping the focus on ska-rooted styles. London-based Lucca Mae appears further down the bill, linking this Manchester date to her wider UK live work. Ska Shack Dj's round out the show with selections that keep the 2 tone and ska thread running between and after bands.
