RUTS DC PRESENT THE RUTS

RUTS DC present 50 years of RUTS Music (1977-2027) THE RUTS + special guests In 1977, The Ruts emerged from London with a sound unlike anybody else around them - the raw urgency of punk colliding with reggae, dub and rock, driven by formidable musicianship and a fierce sense of purpose. With Malcolm Owen, Paul Fox, Dave Ruffy and Segs Jennings, The Ruts created a body of music whose power has endured far beyond its original moment. After losing Malcolm Owen in 1980, the remaining members chose integrity over nostalgia by re-inventing themselves as Ruts DC, eventually losing Paul Fox in 2007. Ruts DC remain a living, evolving band to this day. But the time has come to celebrate the whole story. This tour is about taking the music that exploded out of a movement and bringing it onto a stage in 2027 with all its urgency and relevance intact. Music made across five decades - from the albums The Crack and Grin & Bear It, through Animal Now, Rhythm Collision, Music Must Destroy, and Counterculture? with the classic singles In A Rut. Babylon's Burning. Something That I Said. Jah War. Staring At The Rude Boys. West One (Shine On Me) and more. An AGMP Concerts presentation.   This event is for over 18s only - No refunds will be issued for under 18s
