Madness will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary with three massive open-air concerts in Norfolk, Gloucestershire, and Hampshire this summer, with special guests Aswad, and The Dualers.

The tour dates are as follows:
Saturday 13th June 2009 Norfolk Showground, Costessey, Norwich, Norfolk
Friday 26th June 2009 Gatcombe Park, Minchinhampton, Stroud, Gloucestershire
Saturday 18th July 2009 Broadlands, Romsey, Hampshire

Britain's very own pioneers of ska will be playing the shows with the original band members comprising the ever-charismatic Suggs, Mike Barson (Monsieur Barso), Lee Thompson (Kix), Chris Foreman (Chrissy Boy), Daniel Woodgate (Woody), Mark Bedford (Bedders) and Carl Smyth (Chas Smash).

The band will be playing hits such as 'Baggy Trousers', 'It Must Be Love', 'House of Fun' and debut album 'One Step Beyond' which charted in the UK for an impressive 37 weeks, reaching the #2 spot. Their eagerly anticipated eighth album, 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate', is due for release this year.

Madness will be supported at each of the three concerts by Aswad. Both Bands will be joined by the Dualers at the Norfolk, and Hampshire Concerts.
