Skunk Anansie are a unique alternative act blending genres and tackling current issues. Coming to Glasgow’s O2 Academy on 10th April 2025.
Formed in London in 1994, Skunk Anansie instantly caught attention with their unique blend of alternative, rock, and punk influences, coupled with a dub sensibility which showcased their multi-cultural background.
Their outspoken lyrics tackling social and political issues, alongside vocalist Skin’s unapologetic queer sexuality and high-fashion aesthetic, meant that they became one of the most talked about and important bands of their generation and quickly led to global success.
With a string of critically acclaimed albums including ‘Paranoid & Sunburnt’, ‘Stoosh’, ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’ and ’25LIVE@25’ and hit singles such as ‘Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)’, ‘Selling Jesus’, ‘Twisted (Everyday Hurts)’ and ‘Weak’, Skunk Anansie have sold millions of records around the world and headlined Glastonbury Festival in 1999. After a hiatus in the early 2000s, the band triumphantly reformed in 2009 and have continued to release new music and tour the world ever since.
Skunk Anansie are currently working on new music to follow the band’s acclaimed recent singles ‘Piggy’ and ‘Can’t Take You Anywhere’. Their return in 2025 will showcase exactly why, over 30 years since their first performances, Skunk Anansie are one of the most powerful and exciting bands on the planet – both as recording artists and live performers.
