BRITISH music legends Madness are bringing their 40th anniversary celebrations to Scarborough Open Air Theatre this summer.
The band is celebrating four decades of success and will play at the Scarborough venue on Friday July 19.
Madness last performed at the Open Air Theatre in 2017.
The 2019 show is presented by Cuffe and Taylor whose director, Peter Taylor, said: “Madness are quite simply one of the most successful British bands of all time and an unmissable live act.
“Over the last 40 years they have written some of the nation’s best-loved pop anthems and every gig they play is a celebration.
"We are delighted to be able to bring this truly unique and deeply cherished band back to Scarborough as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations.”
Talking about the band’s landmark year, vocalist Suggs said: “We’ve seen off eight Prime Ministers, 12 England managers and a nasty bout of lumbago."
