After the first lockdown lifted Dakka Skanks had a very busy 2021 starting with headlining the first live event in Brighton and The Dome and into festival season with appearances at Illusive Festival, Tearout Festival, Victorious Festival, Leeds Ska Festival and at Lakefest where they were so well received on the Friday that they were asked to cover a main stage slot the next day sharing the stage with Stereo MC’s, New Model Army and Scouting For Girls, and they finished the year on the main stage at House of Fun with Madness in Minehead.

2022 was another busy year with a European tour supporting Buster Shuffle in June and support slots with The Selecter, Popes of Chillitown and The Dub Pistols as well as a busy festival season culminating at Boomtown. On the release front, the In Control EP was released in December to round off the year.

2023 has seen the band go from strength to strength with many prestigious London shows at established circuit venues like The Underworld, New Cross Inn and Camden Assembly Rooms, supporting the legendary NYC band The Slackers and being booked for the first time at the legendary Rebellion Punk Festival, all the time while writing and performing new songs.
