The English Beat

7 concerts

The Beat, from Birmingham, England, burst onto the scene in 1979 with their infectious blend of soul, reggae, pop, and punk. A key band in the British Two Tone Ska movement, they promoted love and unity through danceable rhythms. Frontman Dave Wakeling keeps their legacy alive, touring globally with The English Beat and performing hits from The Beat and General Public.
