Sheffield live date for iconic rock band Skunk Anansie

After celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2019 with the release of the 25LIVE@25 album, the band were due to play a string of concerts and festivals this year.

They also released their first new music in three years with What You Do For Love.

The track garnered airplay on BBC Radio 2 and was an instant fan favourite.

That was followed by the riff-raging This Means War earlier this year, accompanied by a video shot at the band’s recent headline show in Poland in front of 800,000 people.

The band play the O2 Academy, Sheffield on June 18.
