 On Friday 28 August , Madness played the Rock en Seine festival near Paris , on the same night where Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher engaged in a physical altercation , resulting in the split of the band . As Oasis cancelled their headlining slot , Madness , even though having played earlier in the evening , were asked to replace them . They accepted the invitation and both of their sets during the festival were said to have been well received .
