Madness Confirm Extensive UK Tour

---

Record breaking ska crew Madness have confirmed plans for an extensive British tour.

Madness could well be one of the most under-rated groups Britain has ever produced. The band scored more Top 40 hits during the 80s than any other group, an almost unrivalled success rate.

Combining punk energy with ska rhythms, the mixture is topped off with Suggs’ lyrics. Often gently melancholic, the songwriter has the ability of being able to tug the nation’s heartstrings in just a few lines.

Returning last year with an ambitious concept album, Madness are enjoying renewed popularity. Hosting their epic Madstock event in London for the first time in over 15 years, the band stormed the festival season this summer.

Playing shows at Glastonbury, T In The Park and more Madness brought their hits to a new generation.

Confirming a series of tour dates, Madness are due to kick start ‘Do Not Adjust Your Nut’. Currently working on their new studio album, the band are set to take a break from recording to hit the nation.

Opening in Blackpool’s Empress Ballroom on November 26th, Madness will bring their hits to a venue near you. Comprising sixteen live shows, the ‘Do Not Adjust Your Nut’ tour is one of the band’s lengthiest undertakings for some time.

Finishing with a show in London’s Earls Court on December 17th, tickets are set to go on sale on Friday (July 30th).
