House of Fun

House of Fun plays the Perth Concert Hall on Friday 25 June 2027, starting at 7.30pm. It's a touring theatre show that takes the sound, style and attitude of the UK's 2Tone and Ska era and puts them on stage. The set brings together the hits of Madness, Bad Manners, The Beat, The Specials, The Selecter and The Bodysnatchers, with more thrown in as the night goes on.

If those names ring a bell, you'll know the sound: the off-beat rhythms, the bright brass, and the kind of songs that practically demand you sing along. The show is built around that energy, with the hits of the 2Tone and Ska revival taking centre stage. It's a high-energy live show that aims to capture the spirit of the movement, and the listing describes it as a full-throttle night of non-stop dancing, hands-in-the-air choruses and feel-good vibes. They even suggest digging out your sharpest suit and lacing up your dancing shoes before you head in.

It's put together for two crowds at once: for the people who were there the first time around, and for those discovering 2Tone and the Ska revival for the first time. Whether you've got the records in your collection or you've only ever heard the songs on a playlist, the set is built on the hits that defined the era. The show runs through the 2Tone and Ska scene, from the big names like Madness and The Specials to the ones that helped shape the sound, like The Selecter and The Bodysnatchers.

Tickets are £27 to £35, and the show starts at 7.30pm at the Perth Concert Hall on Mill Street, PH1 5HZ.
