Formed in the mid-70s, Madness quickly emerged as one of the standout groups of the late 70s/early 80s era, releasing a swathe of hit singles including 'Baggy Trousers', 'It Must Be Love' and 'House of Fun', all of which are instantly recognisable today.

 

With twelve full studio albums under their belts - the latest being 2016's 'Can't Touch Us Now' which reached Number Five in the official UK Albums Chart - Madness have more than enough material to be able to tour as regularly as ever despite being one of the country's longest-running live acts. 2019 marks forty years since their first-ever live tour, making it the perfect opportunity to celebrate.

 

The Madness 40th Anniversary tour will see the band perform live at major cities up and down the UK throughout 2019 as well as several festivals, before they pitch up in Bristol on Sunday 1st September for a huge show that will see them supported by David Rodigan, The Outlook Orchestra and Trojan Soundsystem, with more acts still to be announced. Tickets go on sale this week - act fast and book yours ASAP because they won't be around for long!

 

Tickets for Madness live at The Downs with support from David Rodigan and The Outlook Orchestra are on sale at 9am on Thursday 4th April and can be found here.
