Coventry, the undisputed home of 2-Tone, is ready to skank its way into 2026 in spectacular style! Get ready for a high-energy SKA explosion as the hmv Empire Coventry hosts the ultimate season-starter: a one-day festival celebrating the spirit, sound, and culture of SKA music.
On Saturday, 31st January 2026, five incredible bands will take over the stage, bringing the house down with a riot of brass, beats, and bouncing crowds. Bad Manners, the unstoppable legends led by the iconic Buster Bloodvessel, will headline this not-to-be-missed event, supported by the electrifying sounds of Buster Shuffle, The Skapones, The Skangsters, and AKA The Syndicate!
Expect a full day and night of non-stop dancing, checkerboard vibes, and the jumping tunes that only SKA music delivers. Whether you grew up skanking in the late 70s and 80s or you’re discovering the 2-Tone magic for the first time, this is the party to kick off your year.
hmv Empire Coventry – itself a temple of live music and rebellion – is the perfect setting for a festival that honours the city’s place at the heart of SKA history. Coventry brought 2-Tone to the world, and now it’s bringing the world back to Coventry!
Midday - 11PM show. 14+ show (u16s accompanied with an adult).
