Ska hits a new high note at Scunthorpe’s Baths Hall

Ska has hit a new high note. Too Much Too Young – The Music of 2Tone & Beyond has made history as the first-ever ska theatre production to tour the UK, bringing the sound of rebellion to stages nationwide, including Baths Hall in Scunthorpe on 17th October 2025.

The show has earned the personal backing of The Specials’ Lynval Golding and Aitch Bembridge, who praised its authenticity and commitment to keeping the 2-Tone spirit alive for a new generation.

To celebrate, the production has released a fresh recording of ‘Ghost Town’, produced by legendary producer/engineer John Rivers, marking the song’s 45th anniversary next year.

First released in 1981 against a backdrop of riots and rising unrest, the track’s haunting relevance resonates powerfully today.

“2-Tone was born out of social tension, and it still speaks to where we are now,” said a spokesperson for the show. “This tour isn’t just nostalgia – it’s a live, loud reminder of music’s power to unite.”

The tour began this September and runs into 2026. Expect a full live band, original visuals and the biggest hits from Madness, The Specials, The Beat, The Selecter, Bad Manners and beyond.
