Madness - Live at Scarborough - New Southlands Hotel

Join us for a night of classic British pop and ska as the legendary Madness bring their unforgettable energy back to Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday 6 June 2026.

The much-loved Nutty Boys are set to turn the Yorkshire Coast into the ultimate House of Fun, with a hit-filled headline show packed with singalong anthems, nutty nostalgia and ska-fuelled spirit. Supporting Madness in Scarborough will be acclaimed reggae vocalist Hollie Cook and 80s ska outfit The Beat featuring Ranking Jnr, promising a full evening of infectious rhythm and good-time vibes by the seaside.

These performances mark a welcome return for Madness, who previously lit up Scarborough Open Air Theatre in 2017, 2019 and 2024.
