Rock N Roll Circus - Madness

A summer concert at Gunnersbury Park in west London, headlined by the British ska and pop group Madness, with a bill that also includes Fat Freddy's Drop, The Wailers and Hollie Cook.

Madness are an English ska and pop group, and the headline act of this evening at Gunnersbury Park. The bill places them alongside Fat Freddy's Drop, a New Zealand dub group formed in 1999 in Wellington and signed to Sonar Kollektiv, which released its first album, "Based on a True Story", in 2005. The Wailers, the Jamaican reggae group, and the singer Hollie Cook complete the line-up of artists named for the night, and Big Special is also on the bill.

The event is titled Rock N Roll Circus, and the reggae and ska lineage shared by several of the acts gives the programme a common thread. Fat Freddy's Drop bring dub and reggae influences to their music, while Madness draw on ska and two-tone traditions.

Gunnersbury Park is a public park in Brentford, west London, and it hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The evening suits those who enjoy outdoor gigs with a mix of reggae, dub and ska.
