POP icons Madness are the latest big name act to be signed up for a show at Europe’s largest open air theatre.
They will headline at the Scarborough Open Air Theatre on August 3 next year and tickets go on sale on December 20.
The gig is being presented by promoters Cuffe and Taylor, whose director Peter Taylor said: “Madness are a Great British institution who, as proven by their fantastic performance at Glastonbury this summer, remain one of the best live acts around.
“Their new album is right up there with some of their best work and we cannot wait to bring them to Scarborough for what promises to be a night of Madness-style mayhem, unbridled fun and songs that have become ingrained into the nation’s musical psyche over the last 30 years.”
Formed in Camden in 1976, Madness has chalked up 15 UK Top 10 singles – including the timeless Our House, It Must Be Love, One Step Beyond, My Girl, Wings Of A Dove and Baggy Trousers – together with seven Top 10 albums.
- Tickets are priced from £29.50 and are available from ticketmaster.co.uk - 0844 844 0444 - and scarboroughopenairtheatre.com
