Madness are an English ska band from Camden Town, London, that formed in 1976. They were one of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s 2 Tone ska revival. With their most recognized line-up of seven members, they continue to perform and have achieved great success throughout their career.

Madness reached the peak of their success in the early to mid-1980s. Alongside UB40, they spent a remarkable 214 weeks on the UK singles charts during that decade. This record held for the most weeks spent by a group in the 1980s UK singles charts. Notably, Madness accomplished this feat within a shorter time period from 1980 to 1986.

In 1988, some members embarked on individual projects but eventually reunited with Madness to continue creating their unique brand of ska music.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

In May 2021, towards the end of Lockdown, Madness streamed (globally) a unique evening of vaudevillian entertainment recorded at the London Palladium. Scripted by Charlie Higson and featuring the band, plus special guests Paul Weller and Roland Gift, the show finds Madness watching the story of how they got together and became the institution that they are today. Hosted and narrated by a ghostly Higson, the film captures early rehearsals, classic Madness banter and a greatest hits set, including three previously unreleased tracks: ‘Baby Burglar’, ‘If I Go Mad’ and ‘Theatre Of The Absurd’. This limited edition release features the entire film on DVD, plus the soundtrack on CD.
