Pioneers of the iconic Madchester sound, the 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 are heading back to Australia and New Zealand to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their seminal album, 𝑃𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 '𝑛' 𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑦𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠.
 
Fusing funk, rock, psychedelia, and house with the pulsating energy of the UK’s burgeoning rave scene, the 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 became the face of a cultural revolution. Their 1990 release, 𝑃𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 '𝑛' 𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑦𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠, catapulted them into the mainstream, spending over six months on the UK Albums Chart and earning its place as one of the defining records of the decade.
 
Fronted by the inimitable 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧 𝐑𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐫, with 𝐁𝐞𝐳 ( freaky dancing and percussion), 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐃𝐚𝐲 (guitar), 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧 (drums), 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 (bass) 𝐃𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐝 (musical director/guitar/keys), and 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐳𝐞𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 (backing vocals), the band will perform highlights from the classic album; including anthems like 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑝 𝑂𝑛, 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑦 𝐴𝑓𝑟𝑜, and 𝐿𝑜𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝐹𝑖𝑡, alongside fan favourites such as 24 𝐻𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑃𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑦 𝑃𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒, 𝐻𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑙𝑢𝑗𝑎ℎ, 𝐽𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒 𝐹𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒, and 𝑊.𝐹.𝐿.
 
Their enduring influence on British music was formally recognised in 2016 when they received the prestigious 𝐈𝐯𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, a testament to their legacy as one of the UK’s most beloved and groundbreaking bands.
 
‘Always a great buzz when we play Australia and New Zealand . Looking forward to bringing the Happy Mondays Pills ‘n’ Thrills party there in September’’ - 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧 𝐑𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐫
 
This isn’t just a tour, it’s a full-throttle revival of Madchester chaos, and the year's wildest party is coming.
 
‘’Funky dancing, maraca shaking, and incredible vocal performances Happy Mondays showed why they were so big in the 90s and have been able to keep that special place in the hearts of the fans for so long.’’ – 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲
 
‘’With Bez and Ryder’s between song banter raising the amusement stakes, the promised Hallelujah was given an airing and its iconic sounds had the crowd bouncing and swaying, it was clear that the Monday’s have lost none of their magic. They are still funky, downright vulgar but so endearing.’’ – 𝐔𝐊 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬
 
‘’The show was packed with anthems. Friday night's headline set from the Happy Mondays provided a wonderful dose of nostalgia from one of Manchester's most iconic outfits.’’ – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐡𝐨
