Madness have announced plans for a winter UK tour.

The string of shows, entitled The Charge of the Mad Brigade, will kick off at the band's previously announced second annual House Of Fun Weekender at Butlins Minehead from November 23-26, which will see the iconic ska-pop band playing two live sets over the weekend.

The band then travel to Dublin O2 for November 28, before playing across the UK, finishing up on December 14 at London's O2 Arena.

Madness are due to release their brand new album, the follow up to 'The Liberty Of Norton Folgate', later this year. The band will be playing songs from the as-yet-untitled LP at the weekender and the arena shows.
