More The Selecter The Selecter

2 Tone ska pioneers The Selecter and The Beat will bring their co-headline tour to Australia next year.

Both forming from the ska revival in the late ‘70s, their live energy hasn’t relented since, with both acts continuing to produce records more than 30 years later – California legends The Beat releasing Bounce last year with vocalist Ranking Roger, while English outfit The Selecter released their fourteenth LP, Subculture, in 2015.

The January/February 2018 Australian tour follows on from more than 40 dates together in the UK.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 5, at 10. Check out theGuide for all the info.
