Pop on your Baggy Trousers and get ready to enter the House of Fun, as ’80s chart toppers Madness are coming to the UAE.

The British ska act, who made a name for themselves with hits such as Our House and It Must Be Love, will perform at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on October 6.

The band formed in the late 1970s, and went on to score 15 UK top 10 singles.

All together, Madness spent 214 weeks on the UK singles charts over a decade, making them one of the most successful bands of the Eighties (tied with UB40).

The band originally split in 1986, however reformed for reunion concerts throughout the ’90s.
