RAGGA-METAL legends Skindred are heading to Somerset for a show at the Cheese and Grain in Frome.

The band, hailing from south Wales, has enjoyed huge success in recent years, including a number two album, a support slot with rock legends Kiss, and a set at Glastonbury.

Skindred have also been crowned Best UK Live Act at the Heavy Music Awards, graced the cover of Kerrang! for the first time, and performed their single “Gimme That Boom” on BBC Two’s Later… With Jools Holland in the last two years, as well as enjoying an appearance on BBC Breakfast.

The hard-earned success also included a role in a viral TikTok dance craze – featuring their 2000s hit, Nobody – which saw the #Skindred tag soar past 14 million views in just a few weeks.

By the end of 2024, a single Instagram reel of someone dancing to the song had clocked more than 32 million views.

And the spreading of joy is key to Skindred’s enduring popularity and ethos, according to frontman, Benji Webbe.

“When I look out into the crowd the one thing I notice above all else is the smiles,” he said. “Even when we’re done and gone, people will still be listening to this music. That thought makes me smile.”

Skindred are set to play the Cheese and Grain on October 24. For more details, and to buy tickets – which go on sale at 10am on Wednesday (June 11) – visit cheeseandgrain.com/events/skindred.
