Madness UK tour dates: Halifax's Piece Hall announces return of one of their 'most popular acts' as latest addition to next summer's epic summer of music
Madness are the latest act to be announced for next year’s Piece Hall gigs.
The British pop icons will bring their singalong anthems and ska-fuelled spirit to the venue on Friday, June 12.
They will be joined on the night by reggae vocalist Hollie Cook and reggae punk band The Skints.
The show marks a welcome return for the celebrated ‘Nutty Boys’ who last performed a sold-out gig at The Piece Hall in 2023.
Nicky Chance-Thompson, CEO of The Piece Hall Charitable Trust, said: “Suggs and the boys are one of our most popular acts and always bring a party atmosphere to the stage.
"With their back catalogue of hit after hit, this promises to be another brilliant show.”
Madness are preparing to celebrate 50 years since they first burst onto the UK music scene in 1976.
With a catalogue packed with timeless hits – including ‘Our House’, ‘It Must Be Love’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘House of Fun’ and ‘One Step Beyond’ – they’ve become one of the nation’s most adored bands.
Madness join Gary Numan, McFly, Garbage and Skunk Anansie, James Taylor, Deacon Blue, The Wombats, The Kooks, Paul Weller, Tom Grennan, Shed Seven, Ethel Cain, Embrace, The K’s and Alex James Britpop Classical among the headliners announced for Live at The Piece Hall 2026 so far.
