Too Much Too Young brings a live ska and 2-Tone tribute night to O2 Academy Bournemouth on 19 September 2026. Taking its name from a 2-Tone classic, the show celebrates the black-and-white sound of Britain’s late-1970s ska revival, staged at one of the town’s best-known music venues.
What to expect
The night works through the horns, offbeat rhythms and singalong choruses that defined 2-Tone — the movement that produced bands such as The Specials, Madness and The Selecter. Expect a fast, danceable set built for a room on its feet rather than a seated crowd. The full running order is set by the organisers, so it is worth checking the venue’s official listing for the latest details.

O2 Academy Bournemouth is one of the town’s best-known live venues, right in the centre and within easy reach of the seafront, bars and restaurants for before or after the show.
