21 concerts

Skids, formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1977, are known for their art-punk style. Key members included vocalist Richard Jobson and guitarist Stuart Adamson. They gained fame with hits like "Into the Valley" and "Masquerade." Produced by Bill Nelson, their second album Days in Europa was well-received. After lineup changes and disbandment, they reunited in 2007 for tribute shows. The original lineup re-formed for a 2017 tour, releasing the album Burning Cities in 2018.

Spear Of Destiny

Formed by Kirk Brandon and Stan Stammers from Theatre of Hate, Spear of Destiny broke through with Outland and its hits “Stranger in Our Town,” “Never Take Me Alive,” and “The Traveller,” and toured with U2 at Wembley in 1987.
