Sheffield welcomes 80s ska

An iconic UK ska band will be playing Sheffield with a single night show.

British ska-pop legends Madness have announced they will take the stage at the Sheffield Arena later this year as part of their new 2021 Ladykillers tour.

Event organisers advertising coming attractions like live music performances can sometimes use poster printing services to make branded promotional materials.

The upcoming tour follows 18 months of the band being cooped up under government restrictions for COVID-19 and taking part in the critically acclaimed documentary series “Before We Was We”.

Originally from London’s Camden Town district, Madness formed in 1976 and became one of the most popular groups in a music scene that revived English ska. The band’s most successful era was between 1980 and 1986 however when their songs claimed 214 weeks on the UK’s dedicated singles chart.

Music fans attending the upcoming performance will be able to enjoy a slew of Madness classics performed live on stage like the number one hit "House of Fun", and chart favourites such as "Wings of a Dove", "One Step Beyond", "Baggy Trousers" and "It Must Be Love".

Madness will now play the Sheffield Arena on Broughton Lane on Saturday, December 4 from 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm. The band will be joined by the legendary English rock band Squeeze, providing string support on the tour.
