The Specials Announce Aus Headline Tour

Staff Writer

These will be... special

More The Specials The Specials

Following their recent addition on next year's 11th annual Golden Plains Festival, 2 Tone legends The Specials have announced a run of headline dates.

The iconic Englishmen will be playing a career-defining set with their seven studio albums and two EPs in hand, as they take to Perth, Sydney and Brisbane next March. 

Set to be the band's first local shows since 2012, when they played a few sideshows off the back of their Bluesfest appearance, The Specials will also be hitting the Melbourne Zoo Twilight Series and WOMADelaide.
