There was talk about a doubleheader, but normally if we are making a record then they are taking a break, but it would be good to do something with those guys.”The Specials, who formed in 1977, currently comprise of bassist Panter, guitarist Lynval Golding and vocalist Terry Hall.Back in September, The Specials released an album of cover songs titled ‘Protest Songs 1924-2012’.

That too scored a four-star review, with Beaumont writing: “These are tracks cutting deep into the malignant tumours of society, out to heal them by brutal, frank exposure.”Madness, meanwhile, announced details of a UK and Ireland arena tour last year, which took place in November and December 2021.In November, it was announced that Madness would be headlining Tramlines festival alongside Sam Fender and Kasabian.
