Madness are set to perform at Westonbirt Arboretum next summer, as part of Forest Live, the summer concert series presented by Forestry England.

Creating their trademark ‘nutty’ sound, Madness became the UK’s consummate singles group with a huge haul of hits such as ‘One Step Beyond’, ‘My Girl’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘House Of Fun’, ‘Driving In My Car’, ‘Our House’ and ‘Wings Of A Dove’.

Last year, Madness celebrated their 40th Anniversary, testament to the band’s enduring popularity as music makers, with the loyal ‘Madheads’ fanbase always craving their legendary live shows.

Madness with special guests The Farm and guest support Emily Capell will perform at the arboretum on Saturday, June 12.
