1886 will be tripling the music for this year's Mad Sunday.

The Boomtown Longtails, Fun Lovin' Criminals and Formula 1's Eddie Jordan's band Eddie & The Robbers will all take to the stage for The BigStage@1886.

They'll perform for visitors and tourists on Sunday, June 5 from 5pm.

'The Boomtown Rats' will star as 'The Boomtown Longtails' for one night only - upholding Manx tradition.

It follows big acts such as Rag'n'Bone Man, Jessie J, Becky Hill, James Bay, Primal Scream, Nile Rodgers & CHIC and The Darkness - who have all been confirmed for the event at Villiers Square in Douglas.

Tickets are available here.
