Table Of Content
The Dance Crazed Too UK Tour promises a night built around the sharp rhythms, singalong hooks and two-tone energy that made The Beat such an influential live band. Their mix of ska, reggae, pop and punk still lands with plenty of punch, while the Newcastle line-up adds even more history from the scene.
The Beat Newcastle at NX
Neville Staple brings his unmistakable connection to The Specials, while Rhoda Dakar’s DJ set should keep the focus firmly on ska, reggae and two-tone throughout the evening. Together, it gives the NX show the feel of a wider celebration rather than a straightforward headline set.
Fans can expect The Beat’s best-known songs to sit at the heart of the night, including the kind of dancefloor-ready material that helped make the band a fixture of the late-1970s and early-1980s British music scene.
