Newmarket set for a night of total Madness.
Newmarket Racecourse is delighted to announce that MADNESS will be returning to Newmarket Nights in association with Heart FM on Friday 6th August. This will be the third time Madness have been part of the Newmarket Nights line-up following sell-out performances in 2007 and 2008.
MADNESS are the ultimate British singles band, holding the record for British single sales in the 1980’s when over 6 million Madness singles were bought by the British public. Over a thirty year career, their string of Top Ten hits are part of the lifeblood of British popular music and their influence on generations of musicians cannot be overstated.
With their latest album, ‘The Liberty Of Norton Folgate’, collecting continuous praise from the critics and re-establishing the band in the UK Top Five, is the ultimate Madness Best Of and a great introduction to or reminder of one of the UK’s most cherished bands.
Stephen Wallis, Managing Director, Newmarket Racecourses said, “We are extremely thrilled to be welcoming back Madness to Newmarket. Their previous two performances in 2007 and 2008 were two of the best Newmarket Nights ever and Madness were hugely popular with the crowd.” Stephen continued, “It was no surprise to us that Madness sold-out very quickly both times and therefore urge our customers to book early for this year’s event to avoid disappointment.”
