The Vibes vs The Skallions - A Night of Ska & Reggae with Ovengloves the Selector

Reggae vs Ska Night – The Skallions & The Vibes

📍 Newcastle Community Cinema | Date TBA

After a skanking, sold-out gig last year, The Skallions and The Vibes are back in Newcastle for another Reggae vs Ska showdown! Get ready for a night packed with unstoppable rhythm, energy, and pure Belfast craic as these two powerhouse bands go head-to-head once again.

The Skallions – A seven-piece ska/reggae force of nature, The Skallions bring their blistering originals, high-energy covers, and infectious punk spirit to the stage. Having played with The Specials, Neville Staple, The Beat, and David 'Ram Jam' Rodigan, they guarantee a non-stop, high-octane show that’ll have the crowd skanking from start to finish.

The Vibes – A soulful, groove-driven eight-piece reggae band, The Vibes have supported icons like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, The Specials, and The Slackers. Blending reggae classics with their own unique takes on hits from Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, and Sam Cooke, they deliver smooth basslines, killer brass, and feel-good rhythms to keep you moving all night long.

Expect an explosive night of skanking, stomping, and good vibes, with two of Belfast’s finest live bands bringing the heat. Which side are you on—Reggae or Ska? Either way, get ready to dance, sweat, and skank like never before!
