The ‘90s legends will be joined in Kent next summer by Happy Mondays.

One of Manchester’s most influential bands, Happy Mondays shot to fame in the 1980s and as one of the artists signed to Tony Wilson's Factory Records label, alongside the likes of Joy Division and New Order.

Their hits, including Step On, Kinky Afro and 24 Hour Party People, have led to two BRIT Award nominations and an Ivor Novello Award in 2016.
