They said: “With 15 UK Top 10 singles, global smashes including Our House, and unforgettable appearances everywhere from Top of the Pops to the roof of Buckingham Palace, Madness remain the original Nutty Boys of Camden.

"The band who became a British institution and sound tracked a nation are back with new album ‘Hit Parade’, a journey through the band’s greatest hits.

"Delighted to bring Madness to headline a one-off show Helix Park in Falkirk this June, the band’s only Scottish headline show of the summer.”

Tickets for the gig go on sale at 10am on Friday, January 30 at kelpieslive.com

Organisers have already announced two other dates for Kelpies Live 2026 concerts.

Faithless will perform their first live show in eight years on Saturday, June 6 and it’s being billed as their only Scottish show of the summer.
