In a further boost to Limerick’s event calendar for 2019, we are delighted to announce that Madness have been confirmed to play as part of this year’s Live at the Docklands series in Limerick City.
Considered to be one of the most successful British pop acts of all time, Madness will play on Friday May 31st 2019 in the specially erected six pole marquee that will be installed as part of the Live at the Docklands weekend-long series of concert acts on Limerick’s waterfront.
'The Nutty Boys', as they are commonly known, enjoy an unrivalled reputation as one of Britain’s greatest and most enduring live acts. They headlined The House of Common Festival in London’s Clapham Common in 2016 and 2017, and wowed audiences when they played the main stage at Electric Picnic last September.
Madness are one of the top 20 selling UK groups of all time, with seven top ten albums to their name. They reached the UK Top 20 charts twenty-two times, with over six million album sales. Famous for unique, quirky pop classics including House of Fun, Driving in My Car, It Must Be Love, Our House and Baggy Trousers, Madness will bring their love of pop to Limerick City.
At the launch Mick Dolan said: “Securing Madness to play Live at the Docklands in our first year is a real coup. The band achieved massive success in the mid-1980s spending 214 weeks in the UK singles charts over the course of that decade. This is a band that never fails to raise the roof and we are certain that audiences from Limerick and further afield will have the time of their lives on the June Bank Holiday weekend”.
Their Live at the Docklands set list will include songs such as One Step Beyond, My Girl, House of Fun plus some brand new tracks too.
The Live at the Docklands concerts, set to take place on Limerick Docks on the June Bank Holiday weekend in 2019, were first announced last December with Jenny Greene and RTE Concert Orchestra first to be added to the line-up. The events will be hosted in a specially erected marquee, giving Dolans the largest capacity venue it has brought to Limerick City to date.
Exclusive pre-sale tickets for Madness Live at the Docklands in Limerick will go on sale this Wednesday 20th February. This will be available to Dolans newsletter subscribers only.
