The band’s current line-up features Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Monty Oxymoron, Pinch and Stu West.
Although The Damned has performed in Dundee on several occasions, it will be thier first date at The Caird Hall since 1980.
Their first scheduled gig at the venue on The Sex Pistol’s 1976 Anarchy tour was cancelled in the wake of The Pistol’s notorious appearance on The Bill Grundy Show, which led to tabloid outrage.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 7 from 10am at Dundee City Box Office.
