Madame Claude, Rochdale Feel Good Festival, Saturday, 10 August 2024

Madame Claude in a street.
Ska band Madame Claude have been added to the main stage line-up for this year's Rochdale Feel Good Festival in August 2024.

The new 5-piece from Saddleworth have received rave reviews from their gigs so far and have a rapidly growing fanbase, having supported previous Rochdale Feel Good main stage two-tone legends The Selecter and The Beat.

Their debut EP ‘Holt Town Jig’ was released last year and alongside their Rochdale appearance this summer they are supporting Cast and The Dualers ahead of their first headline show at Band on the Wall in Manchester. Described as “the most exciting and original ska band in years” by Selecter front woman Pauline Black OBE, their vibrant sound fuses elements of ska, reggae and rock steady.

Bassist Charlie Lawless said:

“We are all buzzing to be added to the main stage alongside these legends and can't wait to play and get the crowd going. It’s going to be a top day."
