Coventry legends The Specials will perform in their home town as part of a UK tour in 2021.
The homecoming gig will take place at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday, September 11 2021, and will see Terry Hall, Lynval Golding and Horace Panter take to the stage at the indoor arena.
It comes after the 2-tone band released a new studio album, Encore , for the first time in more than 38 years.
Stephen Vaughan, chief executive at Ricoh Arena, said: “We are thrilled that The Specials will be performing in their own back yard once again.
“The Specials are a huge part of Coventry’s heritage and one of the most celebrated UK bands of all time, and it is fitting that they will be playing at the Ricoh as Coventry celebrates its year as UK City of Culture.
“We are looking forward to welcoming The Specials, and thousands of fans, to the venue next year.”
