Happy Mondays were at the heart of the Manchester music scene and
personified the 1980s rave culture. The band fused indie pop guitars with a rhythmic style that owed much to house music, funk, and northern soul. Much of their music was remixed by popular DJs. The band split in 1993 and re-formed in 2004 before releasing the album Uncle Dysfunktional.
We welcome Shaun Ryder, and bandmates with their nineties anthems such as ‘Madchester Rave On’, ‘Step On’, ‘Kinky Afro’, and ‘Stinkin, Thinkin’, to the Main Stage, presenting a best of show plus some new material. Fresh from a very well received tour of the States and Canada before Chrismas and with their mix of indie, psychedelic rock, and dance music it’s sure to be a memorable night!
