Re: Madness US tour

After cancelling their US tour a few years back, Madness is coming back. Back then it was only a few cities so I had hoped that when they brought it back, more cities would be included. No such luck. Looks like the wife and I are off to NYC.

Dates

22 May – WAMU Theatre, Seattle, WA (Delvin, you lucky bastard)
23 May – Fox Theatre, Oakland, CA
27 May – Punk Rock Bowling & Music Festival, Las Vegas, NV
29 May – MGM Music Hall at Fenway, Boston, MA
30 May – Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, NY

LiveNation pre-sale tomorrow! Login code SPOTLIGHT

Oh wow. I've never seen them before - is it still more or less the same original/classic group (minus Chas)?

I'm not a complete convert yet, but I love their debut One Step Beyond... and those first two compilations (Complete and Utter Madness).

Sadly this may turn out to be their last tour with Chris Foreman for a while. He just announced a cancer diagnosis - not curable for treatable.

Might hafta make the trek up to Seattle too!

I just bought tix for the NYC show! (The Ticketmaster artist presale code for today, Jan. 17, is: CESTLAVIE.)

I really appreciate that, Fam, because the LiveNation code I mentioned above didn't work. But CESTLAVIE did!

Rhett, let us know if you're coming to Seattle for the show.

And yes, the current lineup of Madness includes six of the seven original members -- all except Chas Smash.

Hmmm....$51 a pop (before fees) and in the middle of the workweek. Gonna have to ponder that one and hope the tix don't sell out in the presale.

I'll definitely reach out if we come, Delvin!
