ABOUT THIS EVENT
Madchester revival! Derby's grungiest DIY haunt hosts a riot of Specials-inspired euphoria.
Forget the Britpop posers — this is the real deal. Special Kinda Madness are about to turn Derby's scuzzy Hairy Dog into a sweaty, writhing mosh-pit of 2-Tone revival. Expect a furious blast of ragged guitars, hyperactive rhythms, and Dexys-esque brass that'll transport you straight back to the heyday of British counterculture. While the venue's low ceilings and sticky floors may not be everyone's idea of comfort, the ramshackle charm and up-for-it crowd make this the perfect spot to lose yourself in a frenzy of pork-pie hats and pogo-ing. Conveniently located just a short stumble from Derby Midland Station, tickets are a bargain at £18 — so what are you waiting for, sunshine?
