RHODA DAKAR – BACK FOR MORE SPRING TOUR 2027 https://www.instagram.com/rhodadakar/?hl=en
Rhoda Dakar has been a distinctive voice in British music for more than four decades. From her beginnings with all-female 2 Tone band The Bodysnatchers and her collaborations with The Specials, Madness and more through to her acclaimed work as a solo artist, Rhoda remains a compelling performer, songwriter and storyteller.
In February 2027, Rhoda takes to the road with her 6 piece band for a special tour celebrating the grassroots music venues that remain the lifeblood of live music.
Expect an intimate, energetic journey through a remarkable career: songs from The Bodysnatchers and the 2 Tone era, alongside Rhoda’s solo material and more recent recordings — performed up close in the kind of independent venues where artists, audiences and musical communities have always come together.
Rhoda Dakar’s music has never simply looked backwards. Her unmistakable voice, sharp observations and infectious mix of ska, 2Tone, reggae and soul with a punk attitude that remains every bit as engaging today.
A legendary voice. Small venues. Up close and personal.
