The Ruts / Ruts DC - Announce a huge fifty years of UK tour

The Ruts 2027 UK invasion

In 1977, The Ruts emerged from London with a sound unlike anybody else around them - the raw urgency of Punk colliding with Reggae, Dub and Rock, driven by formidable musicianship and a fierce sense of purpose. With Malcolm Owen, Paul Fox, Dave Ruffy and Segs Jennings, The Ruts created a body of music whose power has endured far beyond its original moment. After losing Malcolm Owen in 1980, the remaining members chose integrity over nostalgia by re-inventing themselves as Ruts DC, eventually losing Paul Fox in 2007. Ruts DC remain a living, evolving band to this day.

But the time has come to celebrate the whole story. This tour is about taking the music that exploded out of a movement and bringing it onto a stage in 2027 with all its urgency and relevance intact. Music made across five decades - from the albums 'The Crack' and 'Grin & Bear It', through 'Animal Now', 'Rhythm Collision', 'Music must Destroy', and 'Counterculture?' with the classic singles 'In a Rut', 'Babylon's Burning', 'Something that I Said', Jah War, Staring at the Rude Boys, West One (Shine on Me) and more.
