UK ska legends Bad Manners are set to ignite Australia with their long-awaited greatest hits tour. 

Led by the flamboyant and unforgettable Buster Bloodvessel, the band promises a rollicking ride through their extensive repertoire of infectious pop ska hits. 

From classics like Lip Up Fatty and Special Brew to the ever-popular My Girl Lollipop and the iconic Can Can, Bad Manners will have audiences dancing and singing along all night.

Known for their electrifying on-stage performances, Bad Manners became the darlings of the ska movement, capturing hearts with their boundless energy and unforgettable shows. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, they dominated the charts alongside bands like Madness, The Specials and The Beat. During this era, they spent a staggering 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart.

Buster Bloodvessel’s eccentricity and wild antics made them famous but also got them banned from BBC music show Top of the Pops. 

Now, Bad Manners are back to keep the ska flame burning. Prepare for a night of non-stop fun and sing-alongs as Buster and the band deliver a ska party filled with their greatest hits.
