The Nutty Boys are coming to On the Banks

Get ready for a night of iconic songs, infectious energy and four decades of British pop history as Madness make their On the Banks debut.

The original Nutty Boys of Camden, Madness have become one of Britain’s most successful and best-loved bands, selling millions of records worldwide and inspiring generations of artists along the way. With 15 UK Top 10 singles and a string of unforgettable hits, their music has become woven into the fabric of British culture.

From the timeless “It Must Be Love” and anthemic “Our House” to the cheeky chaos of “Baggy Trousers”, “Lovestruck” and chart-topping No.1 “House of Fun”, Madness have soundtracked generations with their unmistakable blend of ska, pop and British eccentricity.

Now, more than four decades into their extraordinary career, the band are celebrating their remarkable legacy with Hit Parade – a career-spanning collection of 45 singles from 45 years, bringing together their biggest and best-loved songs alongside gems from every era.

With a catalogue built for singing along, dancing and having a bloody good time, don’t miss your chance to experience Madness live at On the Banks.
