The biggest bands and solo artists coming to Bristol in 2019
Sunday, September 1 will see the iconic British band head to Bristol for Madness On The Downs, which is being put on by local promoters and organisers Team Love and Crosstown Concerts, who also organise The Downs Festival.
Giving the Bristol summertime an extra special send off, the one-day event will also feature esteemed reggae DJ David Rodigan performing with the Outlook Orchestra, as well as the iconic Trojan Soundsystem.
Having had 17 singles reach the UK top 10, Madness soared to success in the early to mid-1980’s spending 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over the course of the decade.
Dave Harvey of Team Love said: “We had an incredible opportunity to bring these fantastic acts to the city and being able to use the existing infrastructure from The Downs Bristol, taking place the day before, has helped make this a possibility.
