Hold onto your hats – and your T-shirts – because SKINDRED are storming the seaside and dragging their mighty Detour tour to Tenby! That’s right, the UK’s most genre-bending, pit-starting, shirt-spinning legends are bringing their trademark chaos to the De Valence Pavilion on Friday 17th October 2025, and it’s shaping up to be the loudest thing to hit Pembrokeshire since that one dodgy fireworks night in 2009. 🧨💥
🎸 WHO ARE SKINDRED?
If you don’t already know, where’ve you been, butt? Skindred are the unofficial national treasure of Welsh rock. Fusing ragga, metal, punk, dub, and enough swagger to make a peacock look shy, they’ve been tearing up stages since the early 2000s. Fronted by the one and only Benji Webbe, they don’t do “shows” – they do full-blown live explosions. Expect walls of riffs, crowd-surfing carnage, and the almighty Newport Helicopter – a tradition where the whole crowd whips their tops off and spins them like sweaty rotor blades. (It’s exactly as mad and glorious as it sounds.) 🚁
📍 THE VENUE: DE VALENCE PAVILION, TENBY
Located in the heart of one of Wales’ prettiest seaside towns, De Valence Pavilion is more used to family pantos and community events than ragga-metal riots. But not this October. Skindred are about to blow the roof off this coastal gem. It’s giving: bucket and spade by day, circle pit by night. Only in Wales, mun… 🏖️🥁
🗓️ WHEN IS IT?
Friday 17th October 2025
Smack-bang in the middle of spooky season, but there’ll be no jump scares here – just pure basslines, metal chaos, and smiles as wide as the Tenby shoreline.

🧳 TENBY TAKEOVER: MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT
Come down for the gig, stay for the views! Here’s how to do Tenby the Skindred way:
- 🎯 Hit the beach before soundcheck
- 🍟 Grab chips and curry sauce (mandatory)
- 🍻 Pre-drinks in a pub that doesn’t realise what’s coming
- 🎶 Rock out with Skindred
- 🍕 Post-gig kebab + rehydration
- 🛌 Crash out in a local B&B with ears ringing and heart full
There’s no better excuse for a cheeky weekend away with the crew.
🎟️ FINAL THOUGHTS: DON’T BE A MUCKY PUP, GET YOUR TICKET
Skindred don’t do bad shows. Ever. This isn’t just a tour date – it’s a Welsh homecoming party in a town that won’t know what hit it. If you’ve ever screamed along to Pressure or been caught mid-air during Rat Race, you know how vital this night’s gonna be. If you haven’t – now’s your time to see the light.
So c’mon, let’s show Tenby what a proper live rock show looks like. Grab your ticket, warm up your neck, and remember – when Benji says “shirts off,” you better spin that bad boy like your life depends on it. 🌀
