This will be the group’s only outdoor summer show in the capital next year.

Rock N Roll Circus will make its London debut next summer, bringing its unique combination of huge live music, circus performers, food, drink and entertainment to the capital for four days from 22-25 July.

And the first bill gives London music fans a taste of what is to come.

Joining Madness will be acclaimed New Zealand collective Fat Freddy’s Drop, Big Special – the globally renowned Black Country duo – whose raw, visceral mix of punk, post-punk and spoken-word has made them one of the UK’s most compelling acts – reggae legends The Wailers and London reggae star Hollie Cook, alongside the incredible Rock N Roll Circus performers, with more names still to be announced.

Fat Freddy’s Drop are the legendary seven-piece from Aotearoa New Zealand whose genre-defying blend of dub, reggae, soul, funk, jazz and electronic music has earned them a devoted global following. Renowned for their sprawling, groove-heavy live shows, the fiercely independent band have spent more than two decades building an international reputation on their own terms. Their landmark 2005 debut album,Based On A True Story, became one of New Zealand’s most celebrated releases, spending a record-breaking 111 weeks in the country’s Top 40 and winning eight New Zealand Music Awards, as well as taking top honours at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Music Awards in the UK.
