Castell Roc Ska Party featuring Bad Manners

Get your dancing shoes on for the ultimate ska celebration! Bad Manners are celebrating their incredible 50th anniversary with a spectacular party at Wales' most iconic venue, joined by two fantastic support acts for a night of non-stop ska energy.

The Line-Up:

Bad Manners - Led by the unforgettable Buster Bloodvessel, Bad Manners were at the forefront of the ska revival movement in England in the late '70s. With classic hits including "Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu," "Lip Up Fatty," "Special Brew," and "Can Can", these ska legends continue to make audiences dance worldwide. Buster Bloodvessel and co. continue to give a crackin' good show of aggressive and highly danceable good-time ska - now that's a 50-year legacy worth celebrating!

Buster Shuffle - One of the UK's most formidable ska punk bands, these raucous entertainers seamlessly blend ska, punk and rock and roll. With song writing about drunken arguments, crafty cats, anti-social night buses and messy divorces, their debut album earned 4/5 stars from UNCUT magazine and rave reviews from The Guardian.

The Navarones - An 8-piece ska covers band based in Cardiff, delivering top-class performances packed with Jamaican ska, Blue Beat, Rocksteady and reggae classics. Expect hits from Madness, The Specials, Bob Marley, Prince Buster, and more 2-Tone revival favourites.

This isn't just a gig - it's a full-scale ska celebration in one of Britain's most atmospheric venues. The ancient stone walls of Chepstow Castle will reverberate with infectious rhythms and irresistible energy that'll have you skanking until curfew!
