• Scouting for Girls

Bedford Park welcomes Madness on 2 July 2026 as the summer run moves from Westonbirt Arboretum towards its finale at York Racecourse. Madness headline with a sound rooted in 2 tone and new wave, threading ska influences through a catalogue of pop and pop rock. Scouting For Girls provide the main support, drawing on alternative rock, indie pop and indie rock, stacking contemporary guitar-led hooks beneath Madness’s brass-heavy arrangements. The parkland setting suits the pop focus of the bill, joining different strands of British guitar pop and ska-derived rhythm across two generations on one outdoor stage.
