BAD MANNERS IN PETERBOROUGH

The legendary UK ska band Bad Manners are set to return to Peterborough after 23 years!

Christmas starts on Wednesday December 3 when for the first time since they headlined The Willow Festival many years ago Bad Manners are back and playing at The Met Lounge as part of their Xmas 2025 tour.

The band last played Peterborough in 2002 when they headlined The Willow Festival in July before returning to play a show at The Park later that year.

Bad Manners are an English two-tone and ska band led by frontman Buster Bloodvessel. Early appearances included Top of the Pops and the live film documentary Dance Craze (1981).

They were at their most popular during the early 1980s, during a period when other ska revival bands such as Madness, the Specials and the Selecter filled the charts. Bad Manners spent 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart between 1980 and 1983, and they also achieved chart success with their first four studio albums, with Ska 'n' B (1980), Loonee Tunes! (1980), and Gosh It's ... Bad Manners (1981) being their biggest hits.

This date is part of the band’s 50th Anniversary Tour – which is timed nicely as The Met Lounge is also celebrtaing 50 years of being a venue this year. Although, back in 1975 when the venue first opened it was known as Anabelles!
