The tour dates are as follows:

Britain's very own pioneers of ska will be playing the shows with the original band members comprising the ever-charismatic Suggs, Mike Barson (Monsieur Barso), Lee Thompson (Kix), Chris Foreman (Chrissy Boy), Daniel Woodgate (Woody), Mark Bedford (Bedders) and Carl Smyth (Chas Smash).
The band will be playing hits such as 'Baggy Trousers', 'It Must Be Love', 'House of Fun' and debut album 'One Step Beyond…' which charted in the UK for an impressive 37 weeks, reaching the #2 spot. Their eagerly anticipated eighth album, 'The Liberty of Norton Folgate', is due for release this year.
Madness will be supported at each of the three concerts by Aswad. Both Bands will be joined by the Dualers at the Norfolk, and Hampshire Concerts.
