Long time Damned fan Johnno joined the band on stage for 'Smash It Up' (Captain Sensible- "It's usually the time of the evening when we invite the Damned's longest serving fan up on stage", "Dave Vanian - "Is the queen coming?", " Captain - "the queen, yes... your royal majesty would you please come to the stage... uhh, in the absence of her majesty, is Johnno in the house?", lol). Additionally 5 ladies from the audience were also invited on stage... one belting out the opening line of 'Smash It Up'.

Tuesday 4 December 2012 - Rock City, Nottingham
Set: Under The Wheels, Noise Noise Noise, 1 Of The 2, Grimly Fiendish, Rabid (Over You), There'll Come A Day, Danger To Yourself, Antipope, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, Love Song, Democracy, Stranger On The Town, Neat Neat Neat, She, White Rabbit, New Rose, Therapy, There Ain't No Sanity Clause. encore - Lovely Money, Nasty, Looking At You, Smash It Up.
Comments: UK 'Loco-A-Go-Go' tour. Support from The Dickies. At the start of the gig, just as Dave Vanian went to sing his first vocal for 'Under The Wheels', he was hit in the face by a beer thrown from within the audience. Though he continued through to the end of the song, when completed he took time to stop and berate the unknown crowd member, finishing with comments including "I'm trying to sing for you, and what do I get, a beer in the face... ...and merry christmas to you pal". Though the gig continued through to its natural conclusion, the incident seemed to create an uneasy (uncertain) atmosphere (for both the band and the audience) until later in the show. During 'There Ain't No Sanity Clause', 4(?) large ceiling buckets released a constant stream of fake snow across the audience. I was fortunate to attend the soundcheck for this show and long time Damned fan Johnno was also there... the first time I have ever heard 'Turkey Song' performed with the words " There's a Johnno in the house, get him out", lol. Johnno joined the band on stage for 'Smash It Up'.

Comments: UK 'Loco-A-Go-Go' tour. Support from The Dickies. Some songs in the set were played live for either 1) the first known time ever, or 2) the first known time in many years - namely, 'Grimly Fiendish' (no evidence of having been played live since November 1987), 'Stranger On The Town' (no evidence of having been played live since February 1988), 'White Rabbit' (never known to have been played live previously) and 'Lovely Money' (no evidence of having been played since November 1986 and possibly only ever having previously been performed in a short format).
Saturday 29 September 2012 - The Venue, Great Portland Street, LondonComments: Advertising for the London Punk Festival, from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 September 2012, displayed 'Damned Damned Damned' as Saturday headliners. However, this was actually Brian James and Rat Scabies, NOT The Damned.
Saturday 25 August 2012 - Old Warden Park, Biggleswade (Rhythm Festival)Comments: CANCELLED. The Rhythm Festival website stated "I am hugely saddened to have to announce that Rhythm Festivals 2012 cannot take place as planned. A whole series of glitches and problems made it impossible to carry on. The weather, the Olympics, the Jubilee, the economic downturn and a dozen other factors, including the domino effect of other events not happening, all played there part. The aim is to postpone the festival until 2013 and we are inviting back the acts who were booked for 2012 and hope that they can make it next year".

Setlist: Melody Lee, Neat Neat Neat, 1 Of The 2, Love Song, Disco Man, Antipope, Fan Club, Ignite, Smash It Up.

Friday 13 July 2012 - Boughton House, Northamptonshire (Vintage Festival)Comments: CANCELLED - "following lower than expected ticket sales". Parts of the intended festival 'guested' instead at the Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire from 10-12 August.
Saturday 16 June 2012 - South Parade Pier, Southsea (Punk By the Sea Festival)Comments: CANCELLED. This intended 4-day (Thursday to Sunday) festival ran into serious financial difficulties. Attendees on the first night were told that the rest of the weekend was cancelled, and bands and members of the public were frantically phoning around and posting on Facebook to find more details. The Friday went ahead afterall, with a changed line-up as bands pulled-out or altered plans, but there was no money for use of the South Parade Pier, and its associated costs, for the Saturday and Sunday. The Damned withdrew from the event late on the Friday night. Eventually, an alternative event was arranged (by a local publican?) for the Saturday and Sunday at a local pub venue, where some bands were playing for no final payment - on the Saturday, with its larger room unavailable until the Sunday, Sham 69 and Vice Squad (amongst others) played to a bar that was only able to hold around 90 punters!

Sunday 3 June 2012 - Bath Racecourse (Jubilee Festival)Comments: CANCELLED. Reasons for the cancellation of the gig were disputed between the event organisers and the licence holder (Bath racecourse), but it seems likely that there were safety concerns.
