Happy Mondays return to King Georges Hall

5th August 2014

Happy Mondays headline FAC 51 The Hacienda’s return to Blackburn as The Hacienda takes over King George’s Hall Friday 10^th October for an event that sees The Mondays perform their full live show in a rare club setting along with a soundtrack provided by many of The Hacienda’s finest DJ’s.

The party sees The Hacienda back in Blackburn for their first event in the town since 1991 when FAC 51 used to hold a “Hacienda Blackburn” residency at local club, Manhattan Heights.

With the town known as the birthplace of the legendary Northern warehouse party scene in the late Eighties and early Nineties, Blackburn has consistently supported The Hacienda and the relationship between two is long standing so a great atmosphere to open up the shows is expected.

With The Mondays having recently played many major festivals over the summer, the gigs see the band in a much more low key environment as they perform for the club where they first started out at a “Battle Of The Bands” concert in 1985 before signing to Factory Records and releasing four seminal albums with the label.

With The Mondays looking to mix up their best known material, album tracks and rarities from their extensive back catalogue, fans can look forward to a wide ranging set delivered by the original line up who have been touring to great reviews and reactions since they first came back together around two years ago.

FAC 51 has put together a strong collection of its very best DJ’s to accompany the Mondays including Chicago House pioneer, Marshall Jefferson, Graeme Park, Jon Dasilva, Peter Hook, and Herbie Saccani.

Tickets for FAC 51 The Hacienda With Happy Mondays at King George’s Hall are £25 in advance and on sale Friday 8^th August at 10am
