As announced on The Scott Mills Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning, Madness will make their BBC Radio 2 In Concert debut with an exclusive intimate performance. The set will be recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre in London’s New Broadcasting House, with the band playing some of their most iconic hits.
Camden’s finest will perform in front of a small audience of lucky fans on Wednesday 26th November, which will broadcast in Jo Whiley’s show on Radio 2 (7-9pm) and BBC Sounds on Thursday 11th December, featuring a lively chat with the band.
The show will also be broadcast on BBC Two and iPlayer in December.
Madness, says: “There’s nothing quite like playing in the BBC Radio Theatre, the intimate feel in that room just creates so much vibe and energy. It’s that kind of joy we live for, so we couldn’t ask for better, really!”
Jo Whiley, says: “It’s always such a joy to have Madness in the building — they bring the fun, the stories, and of course, the tunes. I know this performance is going to be something really special.”
Jeff Smith, Head of Music for Radio 2 and 6 Music, says: “Madness are one of the UK’s most iconic and best-loved bands, with a back catalogue full of classic hits that generations of music fans know and love. We’re thrilled to have them perform for Radio 2: In Concert, bringing their unique energy and infectious spirit to our listeners.”
