Madness announce huge UK outdoor shows for summer 2025
Madness have announced three huge UK outdoor shows for next summer. Find ticket details below.
The news follows a string of UK shows this summer, which saw them play at outdoor venues in Newcastle, Lincoln, Edinburgh, Belfast and more.
Now, they’ve revealed plans for next year, with three dates over July and August. They’ll kick off their summer of shows with a performance at Bedfordshire’s Tofte Manor, for a gig coined “Madness at the Manor”, on July 13.
Then, they’re slated to play Dreamland Margate on August 2, followed by Colchester’s Castle Park on August 23.
Speaking about the Tofte Manor show, the band said: “We didn’t think there were any houses, county estates or fields we hadn’t played at. Then who knew that the charming Tofte Manor in Bedford was literally right on our doorstep. Madheads unite next summer at this intimate and historic venue.”
General sale tickets for Tofte Manor go on sale on December 2 at 12pm, or pre-sale on November 29 here. Tickets for Margate and Colchester go on sale at 9am on November 29, and will be available here.
Madness released their most recent LP ‘Theatre Of The Absurd Presents C’Est La Vie’ last year, marking their 13th studio album. It arrived seven years after the release of their last record – 2016’s ‘Can’t Touch Us Now’.
The band teased ‘Theatre Of The Absurd Presents C’Est La Vie’with singles ‘Baby Burglar’ and ‘C’Est La Vie’, as well as an intimate show at the Koko venue in London.
In other news, earlier this year they launched their very own ‘Hour Of Need’ award for fans who wished to nominate “an unsung hero in your life”. It allowed fans to thank people for having been there for them or others during challenging times.
