The Beat: DANCE CRAZED TOO UK TOUR

Sunday, October 4, 2026 - O2 Academy2, Leicester

• The Beat

The Beat launch their DANCE CRAZED TOO UK TOUR at O2 Academy2 Leicester on 4 October 2026, kicking off the run with their trademark fusion of 2 tone, ska, new wave and post-punk. Emerging from the late-70s UK ska movement, the band draw on material from albums like “Bounce” and “Public Confidential”, alongside tracks featured on their forthcoming compilation “The Beat at the BBC”. This opening-night performance sets the tone for the Leicester residency, with the group’s politically charged lyrics and tight rhythms anchoring a show that leans into the sound that first made them a key name in British 2 tone.
