Madness, the legendary British band, is set to embark on their “C’est La Vie in America” tour in 2024, marking their first US tour in over a decade. This tour comes after an initial plan for a US tour in 2020, which was postponed due to the global pandemic. Last November, Madness released their eighth album, “Theatre of the Absurd Presents C’est la Vie,” and they are now showcasing it on this tour, aptly named “C’est La Vie In America,” alongside all their classic hits. The band promises to deliver an unforgettable experience at each venue they visit. Here’s an in-depth look at what fans can expect at each stop on this much-anticipated tour.

Madness will perform two nights at the historic Fox Theater in Oakland. This venue, with its stunning Art Deco architecture and top-notch sound system, provides an intimate yet grand setting for live music. The Fox Theater’s rich history and beautiful interiors add a layer of nostalgia and elegance to the concerts. Fans in Oakland can expect a lively performance with the band’s energetic stage presence shining through. The two-night stay allows for a deeper connection with the audience, making each night unique and special.

Each venue on the “C’est La Vie in America” tour offers a unique and memorable experience, tailored to highlight the best of what Madness has to offer. From the modern amenities of the YouTube Theater to the historic charm of the Hammerstein Ballroom, fans across the US will enjoy a series of dynamic and engaging performances. The tour not only celebrates the band’s latest album but also their decades-long impact on the music industry. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their music, the “C’est La Vie in America” tour promises to be an unforgettable journey through Madness’s rich and vibrant musical landscape.
