About The Damned 50th Anniversary

Fifty years is a rare landmark for any band that started in the first wave of punk, and fewer still make it this far with founding members still swinging. Expect a set list built to cover five decades — the primal three-chord singles that shocked audiences in 1976 alongside the gothic, psychedelic detours that came later.

Crowds for this kind of anniversary tour skew wide: old punks who were there first time round, plus younger fans who found the band through the records. It's as much a wake and a celebration as a gig, with the atmosphere leaning nostalgic rather than nasty.

Where to stay nearby

Sydney itself is the obvious base, with 179 hotels on offer and the venue sitting right in the city centre — no need to plan onward transport, just walk or take a short taxi ride depending on where you land. Blacktown, about 29km out, is a smaller and likely cheaper alternative with 15 hotels, suited to those happy with a longer commute in on the train or by car. For a Friday morning start, staying centrally in Sydney removes any risk of transport delays affecting arrival.
