SUMMARY:Madness vs The Specials - Featuring: Special Kinda Madness
DESCRIPTION:Special Kinda Madness will be performing a set of Madness’s classic songs as well as a set of The Specials’ best hits in this great night of ska and two tone.\n“Back in 1979\, pop was getting dull again. Everyone said it was time for a new dance. No-one expected it to come from Coventry. The 2-Tone revolution\, led by the Specials\, took the pop world by surprise with their infectious mix of Ska rhythms and punk attitude. Madness … followed close on their heels. Within a matter of months the 2-Tone bands had stolen our hearts and conquered the charts with a non-stop procession of unforgettable hits: ‘Gangsters’\, ‘A Message to you Rudy’\, ‘Too Much Too Young’\, ‘The Prince’\, ‘One Step Beyond’\, ‘My Girl’ …” – An extract from Dance Craze by Garry Bushell \nOn 21st July 1979 at the Electric Ballroom in London\, the Specials played a gig with Madness\, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Selecter. That’s a gig that all 2-Tone rude boys and rude girls would die to see\, and thought would never happen. The Specials and Madness on the same bill!\nIn truth\, it will probably never happen now … but you can get the next best thing! \nSpecial Kinda Madness play a truly authentic set from each band\, matching the incredible energy of The Specials with the unforgettable iconic songs of Madness. Producing a show that will have the audience up and dancing from the start\, Special Kinda Madness will have everyone hankering back to those exciting days of 2-Tone and Ska. \n  \nAll Tickets £24.50 \n7:30PM – Saturday 19 September 2026\nBook Tickets Now!
