First generation punk act Penetration celebrate 40 years as a touring and recording band with an autumn U.K. tour.

Having played their first London show at the legendary Roxy club in April 1977 before releasing Don’t Dictate as their debut single that November, the group deem 2017 to be not only their own 40th anniversary, but also that of when punk hit the provinces.

A dozen dates in October/November, including the opening night of the tour which is at the 02 Academy in Liverpool, will feature a set that traces the musical path taken by the band from its origins, including early demo songs, right up to 2015’s triumphant comeback album, Resolution. It will work through their repertoire in chronological order.
