Monkey Spanner – “The Last Dance” Final Australian Tour
After six incredible years of celebrating the spirit of 2 Tone ska, Monkey Spanner is hitting the road one last time! This will be our final tour, and we’d love for you to join us for ‘the last dance’ as we close out an unforgettable journey celebrating one of the finest subcultures of all time.
To everyone who has supported us over the years - thank you! We've had the absolute time of our lives bringing 2 Tone ska to stages across Australia. Along the way, we’ve met the most incredible people - who have made every gig unforgettable and we’re so grateful to have shared this journey with you all.
For The Last Dance, we’re excited to bring you the very best of 2 Tone from The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, The Beat, The Selecter, and The Bodysnatchers, along with a splash of reggae royalty from Toots & The Maytals and some classic Rocksteady.
We’re hoping you can join us to make this final tour extra special!
With Special Guests.
