The Damned - Final Damnation 50

A London concert by The Damned, one of the first British punk bands, presented as Final Damnation 50 at British Airways ARC. The evening is a live show by the band.

The Damned formed in London in 1976 and were among the first British punk groups to release a single, "New Rose", that year, followed by the album Damned Damned Damned in 1977. Dave Vanian is the band's vocalist, Captain Sensible plays guitar and Rat Scabies is on drums. Brian James, who co-founded the group, was its original guitarist. Their songs include "Neat Neat Neat" from 1977 and "Love Song" from 1981.

The concert is billed as Final Damnation 50, a title that places the performance within the band's long career. It takes place at British Airways ARC, a London venue that hosts concerts across the year.

The night suits listeners who know the band's first punk records and want to hear the group in a live setting in the capital.
