The Modfather and Madness to play castle

Music icon Paul Weller and enduring funsters Madness have joined the line-up of concerts at Lincoln Castle in 2026.

Legendary singer-songwriter Weller will take to the stage at TK Maxx presents Live at Lincoln Castle on Saturday, June 13 while Madness take over the historic venue the following Friday, June 19.

Tickets go on general sale for both concerts at 10am this Friday, October 31 via lincolncastle.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.

Over the course of a career which extends five decades, the songs of Paul Weller are woven into the tapestry of British music. His body of work totals 28 studio albums – eight which have topped the UK charts – together with several BRIT and Ivor Novello Awards.

The castle show marks a welcome return for the celebrated Nutty Boys who performed a sold-out show at the venue in 2024 and in 2026 Madness will celebrate 50 years since they first burst onto the UK music scene in 1976. With a genre-defying blend of ska, pop and punk, and a catalogue packed with timeless hits, they’ve since become one of the nation’s most enduring and adored bands.

Weller and Madness will join Tom Grennan, Billy Ocean, Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics and David Gray among the first headline announcements for TK Maxx presents Live at Lincoln Castle 2026, which is presented as part of an ongoing partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor, to bring world class artists to perform in the  historic location.
