Amy Starkey, regional director of Jockey Club Racecourses – East Region, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Madness back to the Newmarket Nights stage.

“They are an extremely popular choice with our customers and always put on an amazing performance into the evening.

“All I can say is make sure you bring your dancing shoes!”

Combining the genres of ska, reggae, Motown, rock ‘n’ roll, and classic pop, The Nutty Boys have become one of music industry’s best-loved British bands.

Madness’ songs have left their mark on British pop culture, and their spirit endures in the music of Blur, The Streets, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys and many more.

In the last few years they have also delivered historic performances at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert, and at the 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony, cementing them as one of the nation’s most successful bands.

Madness are the third Newmarket Nights headliner to be confirmed for 2019.

Rudimental (DJ Set) are set to headline on Friday, July 26, and Thriller Live will bring the hits of Michael Jackson to Newmarket the previous Friday, July 19.
