Reggae legends Toots & the Maytals will be supporting Madness at the band's House of Common event this summer.

The self-styled 'Nutty Boys' announced plans for the one-day festival earlier this month with a line up of 20 'like-minded' bands and DJs such as Congo Natty's UK All Stars, David Rodigan, Lee Scratch Perry and Norman Jay.

Fronted by singer Toots Hibbert, Toots & the Maytals are one the best known bands to emerge from Jamaica's sixties ska boom and enjoyed huge success in the UK with classic singles like 'Pressure Drop', 'Monkey Man' and '54-46 That's My Number' (watch an amazing clip of the band playing this live below).

Also confirmed for House of Common, which takes place on bank holiday Monday 29th August, are The Hot 8 Brass Band, Mike Skinner & Murkage, Toddla T, Craig Charles, Spring King, Rob Da Bank, Terry Farley and Kiko Bun.
