Halloween Night brought out the Ghouls and Ghosts and all manner of amazing outfits in the capacity crowd that came out to see Skindred in their “The Detour” Autumn 2025 UK headline tour, many dates which are sold out.   “The Detour” was designed to play venues outside major cities.

Opening support featured Dead Air, a South London-based alt-rock trio and influenced by bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Deftones, Rage Against the Machine amongst many others.

Next up were Dead Pony, a rock/alt-rock band hailing from Glasgow who also have heavier influences such as nu-metal, synth-rock and are very much high energy.

The sound of Thunderstruck and then the Imperial March rang out and you knew what was to happen next  ….. Skindred took to the stage for an outstanding set including Set Fazers, Rat Race, That’s My Jam, Gimme That Boom and not forgetting the awesome Warning.

Can’t leave this here without a shout-out to the huge crowd who heartily jumped, bopped and sang their way through both supports as well as Skindred.
