THE hills are alive with the sound of Madness.

Yes, that's right. Camden Town's chart-dominating ska favourites will be back on tour this December.

Madness are one of the top 20 selling UK groups of all time, with seven top ten albums, 22 top 20 hits and more than six million album sales to their name.

It’s been an incredible few years for the nutty boys from their gold selling Can’t Touch us Now album, sell out shows to their recent compilation Full House – The Very Best Of Madness.

The Sound of Madness stops off at Manchester Arena on December 7.

Tickets for The Sound Of Madness go on general sale on Friday, April 27, at 9.30am at gigsandtours.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.

But a pre-sale begins on Wednesday which you can register for here.
