Madness OVO Hydro Stage Times: Glasgow gig set times, support tickets, likely setlist and age restrictions

The nutty boys are back with a hit-packed set, and will bring their show to Scotland's largest city this week.

Madness play Glasgow this week.

Emerging from the backstreets of Campden Town in the late 1970s, Madness can boast 10 UK top ten albums, 15 top ten singles and a multitude of awards including a prestigious Ivor Novello.

They have been one of the biggest and most loved British bands for four decades and are well know for their raucous live sets.

New they're back with their ‘C’est La Vie 2023’ tour mixing greatest hits with songs from their new studio album, and there're a stop in Glasgow - following an appearance a day earlier in Aberdeen.

Here's everything you need to know about the gig.

When are Madness playing Glasgow?

Madness play Glasgow's OVO Hydro on their 'C’est La Vie 2023' tour on Friday, November 1.
