SKA legends Madness have announced a gig at Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire.

Part of the Forestry Commission Live Music 2012 programme, Madness will play at Westonbirt on Sunday, June 24.


Recognised as one of the leading bands of the ska-rooted revival, Madness experienced a huge haul of hits in the 80’s going on to spend more weeks on the charts in that decade than any other group.
They are renowned for their storming outdoor live and festival shows and year after year generation after generation have grown to love hits like ‘One Step Beyond’, ‘Our House’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘Embarrassment’ , ‘Wings Of A Dove’, ’House Of Fun’, ‘My Girl’ and ‘Driving In My Car’.
The band members are currently recording their tenth album, the follow up to the critically acclaimed ‘The Liberty of Norton Folgate,’ so fans can expect new material alongside legendary classics.
Madness front man Suggs said: “Since we played last in Westonbirt something strange has been happening down in the west country...the crowds have been going crazy, we can't wait to get back there for even more nutty times"
Tickets £36.50 (subject to booking fee) go on sale at 9.00am Friday January 13 from the Forestry Commission box office tel 03000 680400 or buy online at Forestry.gov.uk
