It's up there in my top gigs ever 👍 I bought the first Damned album from a neighbour whose mam wouldn't have it the house ( we were 15). 20 years later, I married that neighbour , we now have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. Saw the Damned several times, most recently in Leyton Buzzard c1999/2000 I think it was, they performed under a different name, some record company bullshoite they were getting round, but it was defo them and they could still knock it out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most recently saw them in Hyde park in about 2018, played with the UK subs, SLF and someone else I can’t recall, it was an all day job with more modern headliners, Dave still has it 👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw them a few times in those early years and latterly at the Waterfront a few years ago. I like the idea of the original line up, but not sure how much I'd be willing to pay or travel to see them these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well Green Day we’re headlining along with the Hives so the older guys were just a big bonus 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only saw Green Day do one song then had to leave for a birthday party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
