Forest Live, Forestry England’s summer concert series, have announced their first headliner for the 2027 series, with Madness set to play across all four sites.
Next summer, the Camden hitmakers will bring their ska stylings to some of the nations most beautiful forest venues, with tickets for all sites on sale at 10am on Friday 25 September from www.forestlive.com

With 15 UK Top 10 singles, global smashes including Our House, and unforgettable appearances everywhere from Top of the Pops to the roof of Buckingham Palace, Madness remain the original Nutty Boys of Camden. The band who became a British institution and soundtracked a nation.
Formed in North London, Madness have grown into one of Britain’s most successful and best-loved bands, selling millions of records worldwide and inspiring generations of artists. More than four decades on, their music, spirit, and style are woven into the fabric of British culture.
Last year, Madness released ‘Hit Parade’, celebrating their remarkable legacy, and a career-spanning anthology. The band chose 45 singles from 45 years from 1979 through to 2024, capturing every era of their story. The collection features 27 Top 40 hits, including the timeless It Must Be Love, the cheeky chaos of Baggy Trousers, the anthemic Lovestruck, and their chart-topping No.1 House of Fun.
