Three legendary British acts. One incredible live celebration.

Following a string of sold-out performances at Camp & Furnace, Classic Double return with another spectacular live show, this time celebrating the music of Madness, The Specials and Ian Dury & The Blockheads.

Bringing together the infectious energy of the 2 Tone movement, the wit and swagger of Ian Dury, and the timeless singalong anthems of Madness, this is a night dedicated to three artists who changed British music forever. Their influence can still be heard today, and their songs remain as powerful, joyful and relevant as ever.

Rather than simply recreating the originals, Classic Double deliver an authentic live concert experience, capturing the musicianship, atmosphere and spirit that made these bands so unforgettable. Expect outstanding performances from a full live band, faithful arrangements, huge audience participation and a dancefloor full from the very first song.

From ska classics and punk attitude to irresistible pop hooks and razor-sharp lyrics, this show has something for everyone.
