Following on from the announcement of Jess Glynne earlier this week, The Jockey Club Live and Sandown Park Racecourse are pleased to announce another amazing act for their 2019 summer season - Madness on Wednesday 24th July 2019.
Combining the genres of ska, reggae, Motown, rock’n’roll and classic pop, Madness have become one of the music industry’s best loved British bands. Fronted by the charismatic Suggs, Madness’ ability to write songs that sparkle with the stuff of British life, that find poetry in everyday reality, has lead them to have many hits including ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘It Must Be Love’, ‘Driving In My Car’, ‘Our House’ and the 1982 #1 ‘House of Fun’. They are songs that have left their mark on British pop culture; their spirit endures in the music of Blur, The Streets, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and many more.
In the last few years they have also delivered historic performances at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert, and at the 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony cementing them as one of the Nation’s favourite bands.
Phil White, Regional Director, London Region, Jockey Club Racecourses said:
“You can always guarantee an evening of brilliant entertainment with all of the classics at a Madness concert and we are really looking forward to welcoming them to Sandown Park next summer.
“They are a band loved by people from all generations so it’s set to be a great evening of racing followed by fantastic live music.”
Madness are the second Jockey Club Live headliner to be confirmed for 2019 at Sandown Park, with Jess Glynne set to headline on Thursday 8th August.
