## Summary

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are reuniting for a live show, their first announced performance since breaking up in 2022. The appearance marks a return for the ska-punk band after a split that came amid controversy over frontman Dicky Barrett’s anti-vaccine activism.

The Bosstones will open for British ska band Madness at the Hollywood Bowl on 8 May next spring. The bill also includes Dance Hall Crashers, Goldfinger and Reel Big Fish, all fellow 1990s ska-punk acts; Barrett had recently spoken about trying to reunite the band.
