One of the UK’s most beloved British bands Madness have today announced ‘Hits Parade’ a Brighton Centre Matinee show on Sunday 14th December due to overwhelming public demand as part of their major UK arena tour for December 2025. Tickets for the Brighton matinee show are priced just £29.50 plus booking fees. Squeeze will not be performing as special guests on this show.
Madness’ hit parade tour kicks off in Sheffield at Utilita Arena on 4th December and will see the Nutty Boys perform fourteen dates across the country, culminating with a special hometown show at London’s The O2 on Saturday 20th December. Madness will also be joined by very special guest Squeeze on all dates apart from their recently announced Brighton Centre matinee show.
Celebrating their biggest hits that have defined their legendary career, Madness will be performing all the classics from their iconic, extensive back catalogue and fan favourites including ‘Our House’, ‘It Must Be Love’, ‘House Of Fun’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘One Step Beyond’ plus many more! Renowned for their high energy, raucous sets get ready for an epic bash - live, loud, and full of heart.
Speaking on the new tour, Madness said, “We are going to be parading through your town soon...bearing glittering hits of all shapes and sizes, everyone welcome."
Madness achieved their first ever UK Number 1 studio album in 2023, with the release of their latest record 'Theatre Of The Absurd Presents C’est La Vie'. Throughout their career, the band have had 11 UK top ten albums, 15 top ten singles and have won a multitude of awards including a prestigious Ivor Novello. They’ve performed on the top of Buckingham Palace as part of the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and set the record for the biggest ever audience for the BBC’s Live New Year’s Eve Broadcast - the most watched TV music event of 2018.
To celebrate Record Store Day UK this year, Madness are releasing a compilation of unique covers they’ve recorded through the years which have been carefully curated by the band. The record is available on an exclusive translucent red vinyl from 12th April.
The brand-new Madness dates follow a headline USA tour this May, summer live festival appearances across the UK and Europe as well as their annual House of Fun Weekender at Butlin’s, Minehead on 28th November - 1st December.
