Honouring the 35th anniversary of their seminal 1990s album, ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’, Happy Mondays kick off their 22-date UK tour in Newcastle.
The six-piece were pioneers of the ‘Madchester’ scene in the late 1980s, blending rock, funk, and psychedelia in a way that helped define a generation. The release of ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’ was a decade-defining moment, reaching number four in the UK charts and cementing their status as one of the era’s most influential bands.
On this tour, fans can expect a live celebration of the album’s highlights, including iconic singles ‘Kinky Afro’, ‘Step On’, and ‘Loose Fit’, delivered with the energy and charisma that have made Happy Mondays legendary.
