- **Event Description**: With very special guest Squeeze

One of the UK’s most beloved British bands Madness have announced ‘Hits Parade’, a major UK arena tour for December 2025. The Nutty Boys will perform thirteen dates across the country, including Bournemouth International Centre. Madness will also be joined by very special guest Squeeze.

Celebrating their biggest hits that have defined their legendary career, Madness will be performing all the classics from their iconic, extensive back catalogue and fan favourites including ‘Our House’, ‘It Must Be Love’, ‘House Of Fun’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘One Step Beyond’ plus many more! Renowned for their high energy, raucous sets get ready for an epic bash - live, loud, and full of heart.

Speaking on the new tour, Madness said, “We are going to be parading through your town soon...bearing glittering hits of all shapes and sizes, everyone welcome."

Madness achieved their first ever UK Number 1 studio album in 2023, with the release of their latest record 'Theatre Of The Absurd Presents C’est La Vie'. Throughout their career, the band have had 11 UK top ten albums, 15 top ten singles and have won a multitude of awards including a prestigious Ivor Novello. They’ve performed on the top of Buckingham Palace as part of the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and set the record for the biggest ever audience for the BBC’s Live New Year’s Eve Broadcast - the most watched TV music event of 2018.

One of rock's vital institutions, Squeeze will join Madness following their huge sold-out 50th Anniversary UK tour last year. Squeeze first formed in 1973, shortly after Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had begun their songwriting partnership. Throughout the 1990s, the band delivered exquisitely crafted records - ‘Play’, ‘Some Fantastic Place’, ‘Ridiculous’ and ‘Domino’. Reuniting in 2007 after solo careers, the ensuing decades have found Squeeze continuing to build their formidable body of work, with the release of the vigorous comeback albums ‘Cradle to the Grave’, ‘The Knowledge’ as well as ‘Food for Thought’ charity EP. Over the last year Squeeze have been working on two new records. ‘Trixies’ will feature a collection of unreleased songs that Glenn and Chris wrote together back in 1974. The second album will be new material, both are set for release over the next two years.

To celebrate Record Store Day UK this year, Madness are releasing a compilation of unique covers they’ve recorded through the years which have been carefully curated by the band. The record is available on an exclusive translucent red vinyl from 12th April.
