PUNK legends The Damned promise an unforgettable performance when they take in Weymouth Pavilion on their UK tour.

The band is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of debut single New Rose, the first British punk release.

They will bring the tour to Weymouth on December 2.

Celebrated as the most entertaining of the original punk bands, The Damned were the first to release an album (1977’s Damned Damned Damned) and also the first to tour America.

From the very first moment they started playing live in tiny punk clubs in 1976, The Damned quickly gained a reputation as a band who would always deliver an accomplished live set.

The tour will cap The Damned's incredible 40th anniversary year, which has already seen them deliver a three-hour set at a completely sold-out London Royal Albert Hall show.

Always unforgettable, The Damned continue to wave the flag for originality and stick two fingers up to mediocrity and celebrate a DIY punk ethos in the face of plastic entertainment and scripted reality.

Original members David Vanian and Captain Sensible never expected to still be doing it 40 years later, but here they are in town for one night only – as their loyal following will attest, all simply because they are still an incredible live band who sound as fresh and exciting as they did way back in 1976.
