The Slackers Live in Leeds

The Slackers bring their ska and reggae sound to Leeds on Tuesday 29 September, with support from Broken 3 Ways. The New York band formed in the early 1990s and have built a reputation as one of the longest-running acts in the American third-wave ska scene, known for blending reggae, soul and rocksteady influences into a sound that has aged better than much of that era's output. Their live shows lean on a deep back catalogue built up across more than a dozen studio albums. Leeds' smaller club venues have hosted the band on previous UK visits, fitting an act that has always favoured steady touring over chart success. No specific venue is confirmed for this date.
