On This Day 14/12/1999 Madness

On this day, 14 December 1999, Ska greats Madness played Cardiff International Arena on their Maddest Show On Earth tour.

The band had just released their seventh studio album Wonderful the band's first studio album in fourteen years since Mad Not Mad in 1985, and also the first to feature their classic seven-piece line-up since 1984's Keep Moving. The album saw Madness reunite with their original production team, Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, who had produced all of the band's previous work.
