Madness follow up their summer shows with a massive UK tour this winter.

Madness have been playing together (almost) nonstop for nearly half a century now, and they're showing no signs of slowing down.

They've already announced a load of live shows this summer, and they're following them up with a full UK tour in November and December.

• Listen to the Gold Greats Live Playlist on Global Player
• Suggs and Paul Weller join forces for new single 'Ooh Do U Fink U R’
• Madness to release new TV documentary film 'Before We Was We'

The 13-date tour includes shows in Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester and London before it wraps up in Birmingham.

"WOT-a-tour this promises to be!" said the band.

"We can't wait to be back out on the road, doing what we love best. Roll on November."

Madness will pack their sets with classic hits from their upcoming album, which will be their first since 2016's Can't Touch Us Now.
