Madness live at Leeds Kirkstall Abbey: Ska-pop legends announce ‘special performance’ at historic venue - how to get tickets

Renowned for their genre-defying blend of pop, ska, new wave and more, the Camden band will bring their seven-decade catalogue to the venue, promising an evening of “unparalleled entertainment and nostalgia”.

Known for their chart-topping hits such as One Step Beyond, Our House and Baggy Trousers, Madness is arguably one of the most influential bands in British music history, and recently released their self-produced 13th album Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’Est La Vie to critical acclaim.

Also joining on July 26, 2024, as part of the new music series Live At Kirkstall Abbey is Liverpudlian indie band The Zutons, who just announced their fourth studio album The Big Decider, due to be released in April next year, well in time for the Leeds gig.

Madness is the latest act to be announced for the Live At Kirkstall Abbey series, bringing outdoor shows to the 12 century monastery ruins. They will be joining the already announced Embrace, who will be performing on Saturday July 27.
