Skindred – DREAM TOUR

In this Dream Tour segment, the metal band, Skindred, shares the acts that they would include on their ultimate tour lineup. You can check out their picks, after the break.

This is a HARD question to answer. As a band we have such varying taste and influences it’d probably never be a feasible bill! A bill for people that just love good music! (this is actually going to be arranged, right?!). We’re really fortunate to have played a lot of festivals and shows over the years with a load of the best acts around. I think there are loads of obvious choices for anyone with a rock sensibility – Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Rolling Stones etc, but I’ll go a bit out the box here…

Black Sabbath – a stalwart of music. Huge band that shaped metal as we know it today.
Faith No More – anthemic songs led by a man with an iconic voice.
Steely Dan – just so I can see Mikey (Demus) NAIL the air guitar solo from Rikki Don’t Lose That Number EVERY night.
The Specials – are a huge influence on us as a band.
Helmet – same as above. Getting hit round the face with a Helmet riff is never a bad thing.

That being said, our next UK tour in November is a pretty mighty lineup! Skindred, Crossfaith, Hed PE, Yashin. Boom!
