About
It will be just two years since Madness performed a sold-out show at the venue and the announcement comes as the band prepare to celebrate an extraordinary milestone — 50 years since they first burst onto the UK music scene in 1976. With a genre-defying blend of ska, pop and punk, and a catalogue packed with timeless hits, they’ve become one of the nation’s most enduring and adored bands. From Our House and It Must Be Love to Baggy Trousers, House of Fun and One Step Beyond, Madness have delivered some of the most recognisable songs in pop history. Their upcoming compilation album, Hit Parade, will feature 45 career-spanning tracks — including early fan favourites and highlights from their 2023 UK Number One album Theatre Of The Absurd Presents C’est La Vie. With 31 Top 40 singles, 11 UK Top Ten albums, and accolades including an Ivor Novello Award, Madness have done it all — from performing on the rooftop of Buckingham Palace to drawing record-breaking TV audiences for the BBC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast. As they prepare to mark five decades of glorious mayhem in 2026, their live shows remain the gold standard: joyful, unpredictable, and packed with wall-to-wall hits. Their headline set at Lincoln Castle promises nothing less than a full-blown celebration from one of Britain’s most iconic acts.
