A legendary British rock band are heading to Lincoln after celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2019.

Fresh off the release of their 25LIVE@25, Skunk Anansie have announced they will hit the road with a major headline tour starting June 2020.

Having spent most of the past year playing too sold out crowds over 13 countries, the group will now perform at Lincolns Engine Shed on Saturday, November 28.

The well-known group has reunited and disbanded several times over the last two and a half decades.

Paranoid & Sunburnt was their first studio album and in released in 1995.

It was swiftly followed by Stoosh in 1996, Post Orgasmic Chill in 1999, Wonderlustre in 2010, Black Traffic in 2012 and Anarchytecture in 2016.

They also released one compilation album, Smashes and Trashes in 2009 and several hit singles, including "Charity", "Hedonism", "Selling Jesus" and "Weak".

The name "Skunk Anansie" is taken from Akann folk tales of Anansi the spider-man of Ghana, with "Skunk" added to "make the name nastier".

Skunk Anansies success continues to be recognised as the band were presented with the Hall of Fame Award at the 2019 Kerrang Awards joining the likes of past winners Rage against the Machine.

Vocalist Skin picked up the Inspirational Artist Award at the Music Week Awards in 2018.

Last year Skunk Anansie also released their first instalment of brand new music in three years with the brilliant track What You Do For Love.

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

They release its riff-raging follow-up This Means War on Friday.

Both tracks will be made available as a limited run collectors edition double A-side vinyl 7 in April, with pre-orders available from Friday via https://skunkanansie.tmstor.es/

The last 25 years have seen the band internationally acclaimed as one of the greatest British rock bands of all time, while Skin herself has become one of the worlds most iconic female performers, as well as inspirational role model, activist, trailblazer for women in the music industry, model and muse for designers.

Now reflecting on her incredible journey, Skin has announced her very first memoir, co-written by journalist and friend Lucy OBrien.
