Mad Caddies

The legendary Mad Caddies from California have been mixing ska-punk, reggae, and Dixieland into an ecstatic genre cocktail since 1995 – with eight albums and half a million listeners worldwide, they have become one of the most important representatives of Third Wave Ska. The Mad Caddies were born on the central coast of California and grew up with punk rock and sunsets on the beach. For over two decades, they have been blending ska, punk, reggae, and pure sunshine music – without ever sounding outdated.

Their songs range from relaxed grooves to full-throttle horn explosions that transform a sleepy audience into a sweaty, dancing mass. Imagine punk edge, Caribbean swing, and catchy choruses, all packed into an unstoppable bundle. The Caddies have played just about everywhere – from small pubs to massive European festivals – and they still rock with the same playful energy that started it all. No commercial smoothing. Just a group of friends seeking the perfect live moment night after night.

Mad Caddies don’t just play concerts – they throw parties that you’ll remember long after the horns have faded away.
