Madness are bringing their Hits Parade Tour to Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena this December

Liverpool, get ready to go one step beyond as Madness heads to the M&S Bank Arena this December.

Madness will play in Liverpool on Wednesday 10 December 2025, as part of their massive ‘Hits Parade’ UK arena tour.

The Nutty Boys are hitting the road for a 13-date tour that will see them bringing hit-packed show to fans across the country, ending in a huge hometown finale at London’s The O2.

But for Scousers, the Liverpool date is set to be a standout, as the ska-pop legends take over the waterfront venue for what promises to be an unmissable night of music and mayhem.

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.

The brand-new Madness dates follow a headline USA tour this May, summer live festival appearances across the UK and Europe as well as their annual House of Fun Weekender at Butlin’s, Minehead on 28 November – 1 December.

Tickets go on general sale at 9.30am on Friday 28 March and will be available from HERE.
