Happy Mondays are hitting the road for a 25-date UK Tour through autumn 2022.

Shaun Ryder, Bez, Rowetta, Paul Ryder, Mark Day, Gary Whelan and Dan Broad will perform their classic hits such as 24 Hour Party People, Step On, Hallelujah and more during the shows. 

The band’s first tour in three years will begin on October 7 and end on November 27, with a stop at London’s O2 Brixton Academy on October 15 and two hometown dates at Manchester Academy on November 3 and 4.

Announcing the dates, Shaun Ryder says: “Really looking forward to the Happy Mondays 2022 tour. We’ll be playing all the hits so the shows will be fun!”

“How do, everybody. I can’t wait to get out on the road and do our headline tour next year around the country! Twisting my melons, man,” adds Bez. 

And Rowetta beams: “Really looking forward to this. Everyone singing, playing & having it larger than ever! Can’t wait!”

Joining the Happy Mondays as the tour’s very special guests will be Liverpudlian indie rockers Cast, whose ten Top 20 singles include Walkaway, Alright and Finetime.
