Madness

[Beerqueen]

They played 5th at V last year, I was so looking forward to them and the year before The Specials had blew me away in the same vein I thought Madness would.

Im not trying to piss on your parade but I was extremely disappointed, they came on did a big hit like House of Fun I think then played a shit load of tracks Id never heard, the crowd ABSOLUTELY died, they tried to pick it back up at the end of the set but they had lost the crowd already. Spoilt what could have been a great set, if your a die hard Madness fan you'd have loved it, but the unknown songs plodding along really killed the set, hope they have a better set for you guys this year

I'm considering getting a ticket for their House of Fun Weekender in November.

Last album (2008) is amazing btw. I'm actually hoping they play loads of it live, as well as the hits.

I think Madness are going to get a HUGE and very enthusiastic crowd. They are the type of band that transcend age and genre.

Hell yeah I am looking forward to this too, that Madness-Jimmy Eat World-The National-The Strokes-Pulp run at Leeds makes me literally go

[Joe-]

Jesus, I can't believe I'm not more excited about these!

I've been very meh about the lineup but to be honest, Madness is a gem! Going to be brilliant if the crowd are up for it.

[rexclark]

Can't wait for Madness, i've wanted to see them since I was a kid!

[hazzamid11]

We will just have to see how they compare to the Specials for me at T 09, and Toots at besty this year.

LET THE SKANK OFF COMMENCE!

[jump]

Just realised I've not seen Madness in 3 years so now I can't decide between getting a day ticket for Madness and hope for a good Lock U stage the rest of the day or trying to talk my mates into going to Butlins.

Saw them at the Brum academy in December, it was carnage in that room
