British Ska Pop legends Madness have been announced as headliners for an open air music event on the Isle Of Wight.

Summer Madness! will take place at Carisbrooke Castle Fields on the Isle Of Wight on bank holiday Sunday 30th August. Performing as part of their 30th Anniversary tour, Suggs and his merry men have promised a spectacular array of hits both old and new, with many support acts lined up throughout the day.

Summer Madness! is the brain child of live music promoter and Isle of Wight resident John Curd, who has successfully promoted large scale festivals and concerts for over 30 years. Curd said, "As an Island resident, I wanted to create a boutique music event, that offered fantastic fun at a great location. The Isle of Wight is now starting to become known as the festival isle and we want to add to that great reputation, by providing a yearly event that puts on the very best of music in one of the most beautiful settings in the British Isles."

Tickets are priced at £35. Disabled tickets are the same price and include a free carer. No under 5s, under 16s must be accompanied by an adult over 21.
