Look out Melbourne … Get ready to step back in time and experience the infectious, bouncing, upbeat sound of two-tone ska/pop as Baggy Trousers brings the Sound of Madness to The Curtin Hotel, Carlton FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY.
After sell-out touring shows in New Zealand and around Australia, Baggy Trousers brings British Ska to the home of Australian Ska at The Curtin Hotel, Carlton, on Saturday 25th July 2026. You’ll love this journey back in time to the days of your youth and the amazing upbeat two-tone ska/pop music sound. Originating from London and now hailed as The Southern Hemisphere's premier Madness tribute, Baggy Trousers brings to life the legendary UK band’s iconic hits. It’ll be Complete Madness, from "Our House" and “My Girl” to "One Step Beyond" and “Baggy Trousers” with loads inbetween; get ready for a nostalgic journey full of Madness classics. Get yer dancing boots on and be ready for the heavy, heavy monster sound of Madness.
AND to get the party started we’re adding Melbourne’s hardest working Ska Band, the wonderful Loonee Tunes who’ll be pumping out an amazing ‘Sound of the Specials’ set to open the show with another nostalgic journey full of classic hits from The Specials AKA.
We packed out the Curtin last year and we're back by popular demand. Join us for an incredible night filled with energy, nostalgia, singing and non-stop dancing. Don't miss out on this chance to experience the 'Sound of Madness' and ‘Sound of the Specials’ live. Grab your tickets to the Home of Australian Ska and get ready to relive the magic of two-tone ska just like you did years ago. Memories of Madness, The Specials and more in one night … you simply can't go wrong.
