Madness Tickets

Madness – one of the most successful British bands of all time – will perform outdoors in the heart of Vivary Park on Friday 12th July.

Joining them for the evening is the infamous rock band, Lightning Seeds, fronted by Ian Broudie. It will be one of just a handful of live shows for the band this year, as it marks the 25th anniversary of its Jollification album, which featured hits including Change, Lucky You, Marvellous and Perfect. Its fourth album, Dizzy Heights also secured success for the band, but it was its single Three Lions, a collaboration with David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, which was its first number one hit, reaching the top spot in 1996, 1998 and more recently, in 2018.

Speaking about the show, Ian Broudie, who is currently writing new music for Lightning Seeds, said:

“Performing outdoors always gives the show a brilliant atmosphere, so we can’t wait to get to Vivary Park in July, and open for the legendary Madness.”

Also performing is the Grammy nominated and two-time Ivor Novello award-winning lyricist, Chris Difford. He will open the show ahead of Lightning Seeds, performing a catalogue of hits, such as Cool For Cars, Up the Junction and Tempted, from his time as the founding member of Squeeze.

Madness – one of the most successful British pop groups of all time – will bring joy to Northern Meeting Park, Inverness on Friday 23rd August and East Links, Montrose on Saturday 24th August, when they headline huge outdoor concerts.

Joining them each evening is the Liverpudlian band, The Farm, whose first album Spartacus, produced by Suggs, reached the top position in the UK album charts in 1991. The band will perform hits including Groovy Train and All Together Now, as they get the crowd going ahead of Madness’ performance.

Peter Hooton, lead singer of The Farm, said:

“We love performing outdoors at festival type events, and promise powerful live shows in Inverness and Montrose, featuring all our hits. Come and join us!”

Also performing, and opening the shows for Madness, is Jeramiah Ferrari. Described as a “unique force and a live sensation that never disappoints”, the Manchester band are seasoned festival performers, fusing styles of reggae, rock, ska and pop.
