Punk pioneers to mark half-century milestone with special guests  Marc Almond & The Loveless, Peter Hook And The Light and The Courettes, 

Legendary punk pioneers The Damned have announced a special 50th anniversary show at Wembley Arena on Saturday 11th April 2026, marking five decades since the band first exploded onto the scene as one of the founders of British punk rock.

Speaking about this unmissable night of history, The Damned said: “Half a century on and who’d of thought the Damned would still be upright and breathing? We have shared some tragic losses along the way, but like a finely tuned engine, The Damned still has the power and finesse to excite, entertain and accelerate into our 50th year…

“To mark this milestone event, we’ve booked Wembley Arena for the 11th of April 2026 and after a lot of careful deliberation have put a bill together for a night for you to remember and will be joined by The Courettes, Peter Hook and Marc Almond!
