Iconic 2-Tone Ska Legends, The Selecter have announced that they will round off an incredible year of worldwide touring as full tour support on every date of John Lydon’s forthcoming Public Image U.K. tour including the night at the 02 Academy in Liverpool.

2013 has been something of a red letter year for The Selecter. Fronted by the legendary Pauline Black alongside Toaster Gaps Hendricks, the band have already performed more than 60 gigs and festivals across more than ten countries, including no less than three separate trips to the U.S.A.

Their performances at California’s Coachella Festival saw them hailed by both Stereogum and The Desert Sun as one of their of their Top Five performances of the weekend.

Their touring in support of their critically acclaimed album, String Theory (released February 2013) has also seen them storm gigs and festival across Europe, and as far afield as Australia and Canada.

“The Selecter are both tied to and very proud of their past, to the acknowledgement of 2-tone and all that it meant to their fans, but they continue to look forward into an unknown future, safe in the knowledge that a common thread runs through their work, which will never be severed. As far as The Selecter needs to carry on the discussion about our changing world in which racism and sexism should have no place.”

Both The Selecter and P.I.L. have long been considered to be two of the most iconic bands of their generation, to have them perform on the same in Liverpool will be a dream come true for many.
