David Rodigan is the first headlining act to be announced for next year's London International Ska Festival.

He will be joined by Mr T-Bone, The Simmertones, Bottle Of Moonshine, The Defekters, The Downsetters, and Tree House Fire, plus DJs Axis Valv-A-Tron, and Sounds & Pressure Sound System.

Now in it's sixth year the festival will take place across multiple London venues (one wristband gets you into all of them) over Easter Weekend from Thursday 24th through to Sunday 27th March 2016.

The festival is set to highlight all that's good about the world of ska, from it's roots in American Rhythm & blues, to the Jamaican originators, through the 2 Tone era and right up-to-date with 21st century ska sounds with 50+ acts at 20 events.
