Pioneers of the iconic Madchester sound, the Happy Mondays are heading back to Australia and New Zealand to celebrate the monumental anniversary of their seminal album, Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches. Known for blending funk, rock, psychedelia, and house with the electric energy of the UK rave scene, the Happy Mondays were at the forefront of a cultural revolution. Their 1990 release, Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches, solidified their place in music history, spending over six months on the UK Albums Chart.

Fronted by the legendary Shaun Ryder, with members Bez (freaky dancing and percussion), Mark Day (guitar), Gary Whelan (drums), Mikey Shine (bass), Dan Broad (musical director/guitar/keys), and Firouzyeh Berry (backing vocals), they will light up the stage with hits like:

• Step On
• Kinky Afro
• Loose Fit
• Fan favorites such as 24 Hour Party People, Hallelujah, Judge Fudge, and many more!

Their significant impact on British music was recognized in 2016 with the prestigious Ivors Inspiration Award, a testament to their status as one of the UK's greatest bands.

Shaun Ryder himself expressed excitement: “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!”

This isn't just another tour; it’s a full-throttle revival of Madchester chaos! Get ready for a night filled with funky dancing, maraca shaking, and unforgettable vibes! 💃🕺

Don't miss out on this epic celebration! 🎊
