Madness have unveiled plans to release a new single and album in 2008.

The veteran ska band has recorded its first studio album in ten years, called Lucky 7, which will be released at the beginning of the new year.

New single 'NW5', which is taken from the LP, is released on January 14.

The band previewed the track during their late night slot in the Lost Vagueness fields at Glastonbury in June.

The rockers begin a UK arena tour in Aberdeen on December 6, which finishes with a date at London's 02 Arena on December 14.
