Specials

UK ska legends The Specials are currently on tour in North America (without co-vocalist Neville Staples, unfortunately), having already played Chicago and SXSW. For New Yorkers feeling ignored by the band, fear not — they just announced a summer outdoor show at Pier 26 at Hudson River Park on July 17. Tickets for that show go on AmEx presale on Wednesday (3/27) at noon with the regular on-sale starting Friday (3/29) at noon.

That’s the only summer North American date we’ve heard so far but their upcoming tour schedule is below.
