Madness announce 40th anniversary UK shows: How to get tickets for 2019 dates

Madness have announced two UK shows for 2019 to celebrate their 40th anniversary.

The group will perform at Kenwood House on Saturday June 15 as part of their Madness Go XL events.

The group’s House of Common festival is also returning later this year, with the group set to perform on Clapham Common on Monday August 26.

Suggs and co will release the new autobiography Before We Was We in 2019, with new music also on the way.

Speaking about the anniversary, Suggs said: “40 years at the coal face of modern popular culture. Man and boy. Dedicated to the purveyance of popular music of quality and distinction to the people.”

He added: “Dedicated in our selfless quest to have the nation singing, dancing and making merry through some of the darkest times of the last four decades. There will be feasts, street parties extraordinary concerts of every shape and size up and down the nation.”

How to get Madness tickets

Tickets for both dates will go on sale at 9am on Wednesday January 30. They will be available for purchase here.
