Happy MondaysNotorious Madchester acid-house party outfit Happy Mondays are returning to Australia this year, with what the promoters are calling the “definitive original line-up”.
Shaun Ryder, Paul Ryder, Bez, Gary Whelan, Mark Day and Rowetta will be touring the east coast and Perth in May, presented by Street Press Australia.
The influential English outfit were a staple of the late '80s and early '90s and have since had many line-up variations. Last year bandleader Ryder (Shaun) announced he'd be getting the original line-up back together and they toured the UK. They're also working on their first album since 2007's Uncle Dysfunktional and their first with this line-up for 20 years.
