Madness to headline Brussels Summer Festival

Madness were yesterday announced as the biggest name to grace the bill of this year’s Brussels Summer Festival. The London legends will play at the Place des Palais on August 11 as the band, currently promoting their latest album, Oui Oui Si Si Ja Ja Da Da, carry on their royal residence theme, having famously performed on the roof of Buckingham Palace last year. Sax player Lee Thomson will be back on August 16 with his Ska Orchestra. Also on the bill of the 10-day festival, which runs from August 9 to August 18, are Amy MacDonald, Arno, K’s Choice and dozens of other artists, with more acts to be announced soon. Tickets can be purchased via the festival’s official website.
