The Newport legends are gearing up to unleash their brand new album You Got This, landing 17th April, and to celebrate theyโre throwing a FREE ENTRY album launch show at New Slang in Kingston.
No barriers. No nonsense. Just basslines that rattle ribs and grooves that make pits bounce sideways. ๐บ๐ฅ

Yes, you read that right. Free. Skindred. In a club.
That alone should have you checking train times and phoning in โmysteriousโ annual leave already. ๐๐ป
๐ง โYou Got Thisโ โ The Energy We All Need Right Now
Even the album title feels like a Benji pep talk shouted at you from the stage while the bass drops.
You Got This looks set to continue Skindredโs unstoppable run of blending metal, punk, reggae, dub, and pure Welsh defiance into something no one else can touch.
If recent live shows are anything to go by, expect:
- Bounce pits that defy physics
- Crowd chants loud enough to crack walls
- Smiles everywhere, even in the chaos
- That feeling where total strangers become best mates for 90 minutes
Skindred gigs arenโt just shows โ theyโre communal events, butt. ๐
๐๏ธ About That Artwork Thoughโฆ
Letโs talk visuals. Because this image is pure Skindred madness:
- Benji front and centre in full white beast mode ๐ฆฌ
- Bandmates looking cooler than your mate who โused to tourโ
- Gold furniture like theyโve just looted a glam-metal palace
Itโs playful, bold, and unapologetically them. No grimdark posturing. No trend-chasing. Just confidence and character spilling out of every pixel.
โก Final Word From The Riff
A free Skindred album launch show in a sweaty venue the night before the record drops?
Thatโs not marketing.
Thatโs fan service, proper job.
If youโre anywhere near Kingston on the 16th, get yourself down there. If youโre not? Start making plans. Trains, lifts, dodgy favours โ do what you must. ๐๐
Because Skindred arenโt asking politely anymore.
