The Damned smash it up at 170 Russell with their 40th Anniversary Tour

Since their formation in 1976, THE DAMNED began carving their own success when they played their first ever gig at the iconic 100 Club, in support of The Sex Pistols. Fast forward 40 years and the seminal punks have released an incredible ten studio albums, fifteen striking live albums, thirty-one compilations, two successful EP’s and thirty-one epic singles.

THE DAMNED have gained worldwide recognition through mega hits like Love Song, Smash It Up, Eloise, New Rose and Neat Neat Neat, propelling them to become one of the most influential punk groups to date. Now, these icons are celebrating four decades of music, madness and memories continue their reign on the punk rock scene.
