British ska-pop pioneers MADNESS are heading to Dubai. The band is scheduled to perform live at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on Saturday, November 22, 2025. Known for their unmistakable two-tone sound and energetic performances, MADNESS will bring decades of chart-topping music to the UAE stage.
Formed in 1976, MADNESS rose to fame during the late ’70s and early ’80s ska revival in the UK. They’ve since become one of the most enduring and recognisable names in British pop, still performing today with six of the original seven members.
Fans attending the Dubai concert can expect a full-throttle show packed with fan favourites including “Our House,” “Baggy Trousers,” “It Must Be Love,” and “One Step Beyond.” The performance also comes on the heels of their latest studio album, “Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’est la Vie,” released in November 2023 after a seven-year hiatus.
The Dubai stop is expected to draw thousands, combining the band’s high-energy presence with a sense of nostalgia for fans who have followed them over the decades. The outdoor venue at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre offers an ideal setting for an evening of live music and sweet nostalgia.
