Madness are to mark their 30th anniversary next month with a huge street gig in London.

The band will play the free show on Regent Street on September 27.

Only 1500 tickets will be available for the event, but non-ticketholders will also be able to watch on specially erected big screens.

Regent Street will be closed for eight hours during the show, which is set to include a host of guest appearances.
