Sparks previously peaked at Number #4, 51 years ago, with 1974’s Kimono My House. MAD! gives them their seventh UK Top 40 album to date and fourth UK Top 10 in the last 8 years. There’s no better way to celebrate such an achievement than a momentous UK tour, featuring two nights at London’s iconic Eventim Apollo.
The brotherly duo have been working for more than half a century and were recently honoured for their “Outstanding Contribution to Music” at the AIM Awards 2024.
The album MAD! is their most inventive yet. Their fast-approaching UK tour is set to be out of this world, for both fans new and old.

Speaking about the new record, the band explains:
“We’re so deeply appreciative of the way our new album MAD! has been embraced by all of you, to such an extent that it’s reached Number 2, our highest chart position ever! Hard to believe. We will continue, to paraphrase a certain band, Sparks, to “do things our own way,” knowing the support we’re getting from all of you. See you soon on the UK leg of our tour in June and July!”
The tour has already touched down in Japan, and the madness is coming to Europe this week. Remaining tickets can be purchased here - be quick.
Thank you for reading, why not stick around? 🖤
