The Skints (UK) | Podium Grounds, Rotterdam | 04-12-2026

The London-based four-piece The Skints bring you the eclectic sound of their hometown’s suburbs. With a raw mix of ska, punk, dub, reggae, hip-hop and grime, they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. A shot of their East London reggae or tropical punk at GROUNDS in Rotterdam is therefore the perfect remedy for getting through the cold December weather.

The band was formed in Northeast London in 2007 by secondary-school friends Marcia Richards, Joshua Waters Rudge, Jamie Kyriakides and Jonathan Doyle. Emerging from London’s underground punk scene and some of the darkest venues across the country, the four-piece worked their way up to become an established name on the international reggae scene.

Much of their distinctive sound comes from their unique line-up, featuring three different lead vocalists. From tight ska and laid-back reggae to hard-hitting punk, The Skints can easily be described as the rebellious child of The Specials and The Clash.
