Madness announced for Audley End 2024

Madness are to take to the stage at Audley End in Essex for a huge outdoor show as part of the 2024 Heritage Live concert series, bringing their ‘C’est la Vie’ tour to the popular outdoor venue.

Known for their energetic and lively live sets, Madness will headline on Friday, August 2, in the grounds of the stunning Audley End House & Gardens. Expect a show teeming with hits from the Nutty Boys’ unrivalled back catalogue along with songs from their new album, Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’est la Vie, which has become the band’s first album to top the UK charts.

The show will see them joined by special guests Lightning Seeds and the Old Time Sailors.

With huge singles such as One Step Beyond, Baggy Trousers, House of Fun, Our House, and more, Madness have become one of the most celebrated British bands of all time since their emergence from Camden Town in the late 1970s.

Among many awards the band have received, in 2000 they were awarded an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection.

Tickets for the show will be available on pre-sale this Thursday (November 30) at 9am. Customers must pre-register at arep.co/p/madness-audleyend for pre-sale access.

Tickets will then go on general sale on Friday, December 1, at 9am from axs.com/heritagelive.
