O2 Academy Bournemouth

One of the founding names behind Britain's 2 Tone ska revival, The Beat bring their Dance Crazed Too UK tour to O2 Academy Bournemouth on 25 October 2026. The single evening lands at one of the town's best-known live venues, in the heart of Bournemouth.

The band

The Beat emerged from the late-1970s 2 Tone scene alongside The Specials and Madness, making their name with fast, danceable ska carrying a sharp pop edge. Expect the offbeat rhythms, brass and singalong choruses of that era, in a room built for standing rather than sitting. Organisers confirm the full running order, so it's worth checking the venue's official listing for the latest details.

Around the venue

O2 Academy Bournemouth is centrally located, within easy reach of the seafront, bars and restaurants for before or after the show. Book through the venue's official listing, where you'll find the most current start times, prices and any age restrictions.
