Madness are the latest act to sign up for this summer’s series of concerts at Newmarket Racecourse.
The Jockey Club Live presents ‘An Evening At The Races’ welcomes Madness back to Newmarket Nights June 26, as a part of the group’s Grandslam Madness tour.
Madness stormed onto the UK music scene in 1979, becoming one of the most prominent bands of the UK ska revival scene with hits including Baggy Trousers, It Must Be Love, Driving In My Car, Our House and the 1982 number one House of Fun.
Amy Starkey, regional director east of Jockey Club Racecourses, said: “Madness are a national treasure and it is absolutely thrilling that we are welcoming the band back to the July Course for the third time in four years.
“The Nutty Boys are loved by all age groups and their Newmarket concerts were sell-outs in 2012 and 2013, so I’m certain that there will be a huge demand once again for their performance on June 26.
“It’s very much a case of book tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”
A spokesman for Madness said: “Come see, come see! The world’s strongest band perform incredible feats live!
