Madness bring their C’est La Vie tour to Utilita Arena Birmingham this December.

Drawing on their musical roots in pop and ska, Madness are responsible for some of the most credible pop compositions of their generation with the ability to write songs that sparkle with the spirit of British life.

A career spanning over 4 decades in the business is testament to the band’s enduring popularity as music makers, their legendary live shows satiating the appetite of the steadfast ‘Madheads’ fanbase.

Responsible for some of the most well-known tracks of the 1990s including Life of Riley, Lucky You, Pure and football favourite Three Lions featuring Baddiel and Skinner, Lightning Seeds will be the special guests for the entirety of the tour.
