Pioneers of the iconic Madchester sound, the ๐‡๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ are heading back to Australia and New Zealand to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their seminal album, ๐‘ƒ๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™๐‘  '๐‘›' ๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐ต๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™๐‘ฆ๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘ .

Fusing funk, rock, psychedelia, and house with the pulsating energy of the UKโ€™s burgeoning rave scene, the ๐‡๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ became the face of a cultural revolution. Their 1990 release, ๐‘ƒ๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™๐‘  '๐‘›' ๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘™๐‘™๐‘  ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐ต๐‘’๐‘™๐‘™๐‘ฆ๐‘Ž๐‘โ„Ž๐‘’๐‘ , 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 ๐’๐ก๐š๐ฎ๐ง ๐‘๐ฒ๐๐ž๐ซ, with ๐๐ž๐ณ ( freaky dancing and percussion), ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐ค ๐ƒ๐š๐ฒ (guitar), ๐†๐š๐ซ๐ฒ ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ง (drums), ๐Œ๐ข๐ค๐ž๐ฒ ๐’๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ž (bass) ๐ƒ๐š๐ง ๐๐ซ๐จ๐š๐ (musical director/guitar/keys), and ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ž๐ก ๐๐ž๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ (backing vocals), the band will perform highlights from the classic album; including anthems like ๐‘†๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘‚๐‘›, ๐พ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘˜๐‘ฆ ๐ด๐‘“๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ, and ๐ฟ๐‘œ๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐น๐‘–๐‘ก, alongside fan favourites such as 24 ๐ป๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘ƒ๐‘Ž๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก๐‘ฆ ๐‘ƒ๐‘’๐‘œ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’, ๐ป๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘™๐‘’๐‘™๐‘ข๐‘—๐‘Žโ„Ž, ๐ฝ๐‘ข๐‘‘๐‘”๐‘’ ๐น๐‘ข๐‘‘๐‘”๐‘’, and ๐‘Š.๐น.๐ฟ.

Their enduring influence on British music was formally recognised in 2016 when they received the prestigious ๐ˆ๐ฏ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ ๐ˆ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐€๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐, a testament to their legacy as one of the UKโ€™s most beloved and groundbreaking bands.

โ€˜Always a great buzz when we play Australia and New Zealand . Looking forward to bringing the Happy Mondays Pills โ€˜nโ€™ Thrills party there in Septemberโ€™โ€™ - ๐’๐ก๐š๐ฎ๐ง ๐‘๐ฒ๐๐ž๐ซ

This isnโ€™t just a tour, itโ€™s a full-throttle revival of Madchester chaos, and the year's wildest party is coming.

โ€˜โ€™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.โ€™โ€™ โ€“ ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐œ ๐๐ž๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก๐ฅ๐ฒ

โ€˜โ€™With Bez and Ryderโ€™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 Mondayโ€™s have lost none of their magic. They are still funky, downright vulgar but so endearing.โ€™โ€™ โ€“ ๐”๐Š ๐Œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐œ ๐‘๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ๐ฌ

โ€˜โ€™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.โ€™โ€™ โ€“ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ง ๐„๐œ๐ก๐จ
