What’s occurring, mun? Only one of the biggest Welsh rock team-ups we’ve ever seen! Our reggae-metal lords Skindred have just announced they’ll be headlining a stadium show this coming May – and joining them for the mayhem are none other than Bridgend’s very own Those Damn Crows. 🤯🐉🐦

This isn’t just another gig, butt. This is a Welsh rock uprising.

🎤 Skindred: Still Flying High After Smile

Benji Webbe and the boys are riding an absolute tidal wave right now. Their 2023 album Smile didn’t just slap – it stormed the UK Album Charts at Number 2, proving that 25 years in, Skindred are still as heavy, cheeky, and utterly unstoppable as ever.

And let’s be honest: there’s no crowd on earth like a Skindred crowd. The Newport Helicopter is practically a national sport in Wales by now. Expect that stadium roof to lift clean off when “Warning” drops. 🚁🎶

🦅 Those Damn Crows: Bridgend’s Finest Taking Flight

From Bridgend pubs to Download Festival’s biggest stage, Those Damn Crows have grafted harder than a miner’s shift in the Valleys. Their latest album Inhale/Exhale smashed into the Top 3 in the UK rock charts, and they’ve built a reputation as one of the tightest, most passionate live bands out there.

Shane Greenhall’s vocals will punch you in the chest, Ronnie and Shiner’s guitars will set fire to your pint, and Lloyd on drums? He’s basically Wales’ own thunder god. ⚡🥁

🏴 A Celebration of Welsh Rock

To have Skindred and The Crows sharing a stadium stage isn’t just tidy – it’s historic. Two bands from small Welsh towns who’ve clawed their way to the top, now headlining a stage fit for giants.

Imagine it:

  • Thousands of Welsh fans, flags waving high 🏴
  • Newport Helicopters spinning in the stands 🚁
  • Crows chants echoing off the concrete 🦅
  • And maybe, just maybe, a full-band mash-up encore to send us all home broken, sweaty, and grinning like lunatics. 🤘

🎟️ Tickets & Chaos Incoming

Tickets are expected to drop faster than a Greggs sausage roll at 3am outside Clwb Ifor Bach, so keep your eyes on Skindred’s and Those Damn Crows’ socials for the drop. If you miss out, you’ll be tamping for the rest of the year.

🍻 Final Word from The Riff Report

This ain’t just a gig. This is a celebration of Welsh heavy music finally getting the stadium treatment it deserves.

C’mon butt – who’s ready to lose their voice, spin their shirt, and cry into their pint at the sight of our two homegrown giants sharing a stage? Because we’ll be there, front row, screaming “YESS MUN!” until our throats give out. 🥳🔥
