Madness have announced they will be performing a big outdoor show at Newmarket Racecourse next summer.

The band will be playing Newmarket nights on June 22nd.

They will be making a popular return to the venue on Friday 22nd June 2012, after last performing to a sell out crowd back in 2010.

Madness, described as having a ‘brash salt of the earth carnival vitality’, are recognised as one of England’s greatest pop groups and after 30 years together and nine studio albums, they will bring their unique sound and sense of style to the Adnams Newmarket Nights stage.

Adrian Simpson, Sales and Marketing Director at Newmarket Racecourses comments: 'There are some acts that simply deliver time and time again and Madness is no exception! For their loyal fans and also newer followers, they create a unique and captivating atmosphere which is impossible to resist. Plus, their classic hits put everyone in a fantastic mood – there really is no better act to launch the Adnams Newmarket Nights series!'
