Sparks MAD! tour comes to the UK this June and July.
Legendary pop pioneers Sparks continue to break new ground and are releasing their brand new album MAD! in May followed by the MAD! tour. Catch them this June and July for some very special performances at Eventim Apollo London, O2 Apollo Manchester, Royal Concert Hall Glasgow (sold out), Playhouse Edinburgh, and The Halls, Wolverhampton. The tour is already the band’s fastest selling to date…
Ron and Russell Mael, and their band, wowed audiences and critics alike on their 2023 tour – including sold out shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall (two) and Sydney Opera House, a hometown triumph at Hollywood Bowl, and a headline-stealing set at Glastonbury Festival. This new tour promises more musical thrills and unbridled joy from the career-spanning show.
MAD! To Miss It
Sparks aren’t most acts. If anything, their rate of productivity has sped up in recent years: since the millennium the duo have released eight new studio albums (including, in 2024, the original Sparks 2013 album recording of Annette), a radio opera (The Seduction Of Ingmar Bergman), a side-project (Franz Ferdinand collaboration FFS), a live album, a film musical (2021’s Annette, which won a ‘Best Director’ award for Leos Carax and the ‘Best Original Score’ at the César Awards for the Maels), and several compilations (notably 2019’s career-spanning Past Tense), toured the world numerous times, as well as appearing in The Sparks Brothers directed by Edgar Wright. Their laurels remain resoundingly unrested-upon.
Belatedly, however, the whole world has woken up to Ron and Russell’s genius. They have become regular visitors to the upper echelons of the charts: curiously, the last three Sparks albums (2017’s Hippopotamus, 2020’s A Steady Drip, Drip, Drip and 2023’s The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte) all reached No.7 in the UK. It would be a surprise if MAD! didn’t do the same, or even better.
