Info
Ruts DC present 50 years of Ruts music (1977-2027) with The Ruts and special guests at Thekla on 15 October 2027.
In 1977, The Ruts emerged from London with a sound unlike anybody else around them, the raw urgency of punk colliding with reggae, dub and rock, driven by formidable musicianship and a fierce sense of purpose. With Malcolm Owen, Paul Fox, Dave Ruffy and Segs Jennings, The Ruts created a body of music whose power has endured far beyond its original moment.
After losing Malcolm Owen in 1980, the remaining members chose integrity over nostalgia by re-inventing themselves as Ruts DC, eventually losing Paul Fox in 2007. Ruts DC remain a living, evolving band to this day.
This tour is about taking the music that exploded out of a movement and bringing it onto a stage in 2027 with all its urgency and relevance intact. Music made across five decades, from the albums The Crack and Grin & Bear It, through Animal Now, Rhythm Collision, Music Must Destroy, and Counterculture?, with the singles In A Rut, Babylon's Burning, Something That I Said, Jah War, Staring At The Rude Boys, West One (Shine On Me) and more.
