ABOUT THIS EVENT
Madchester mavericks Happy Mondays return to celebrate 35 years of pill-popping, thrills, and bellyaches at the O2 Academy Bournemouth.
Gather round, you shambling, pill-popping, dreadlocked disciples of Madchester - Happy Mondays are back to blow the roof off the O2 Academy Bournemouth and celebrate 35 years of their seminal debut album Pills 'N' Thrills and Bellyaches. Shaun Ryder and the gang will be dishing out all the sweaty, funk-fuelled, baggy anthems that had indie kids across the land gurning like loons back in the day. The Academy's sticky carpets and pumping sound system will be the perfect grimy backdrop for this nostalgia-soaked rave-up - just make sure you jump on a train from Bournemouth station early, as tickets for this one are flying out the door at £42.50 a pop.
