Punk legends The Damned will play their last date of a UK tour in Kent next month.

The group, who have been celebrating their 40th anniversary year, will come to Margate Winter Gardens on Friday, December 9.

The date is the finale of a tour across the UK and Ireland, visiting more than 30 towns and cities.

They were the first British band to release a punk single - New Rose in October 1976 - and have been known for their performances live.

Original members David Vanian and Captain Sensible are still among the line-up.

Tickets are £25 for the standing gig at 7.30pm with support.

BMG Music and the band will be releasing a new 40th anniversary special edition of their classic debut album Damned Damned Damned – the very first British punk album - in February. They will play from that album along with many of their hits and fan favourites.
