Primal Scream today announces a huge open-air show taking place next summer as part of the Margate Summer Series. The Scottish rock legends will be heading to Dreamland Margate on Saturday 5 August 2023 with some very special guests in tow. The Happy Mondays will be joining the line-up for this one-day concert.
Taking place on Saturday 5 August 2023, tickets go on general sale this Friday 11 November at 11am via www.margatesummerseries.co.uk.
With a musical legacy spanning 35 years, Primal Scream has delivered era-defining albums from ‘Screamadelica’ to ‘Riot City Blues’. The band, formed by frontman Bobbie Gillespie, has created their own unique sound breaking down musical boundaries and spanning everything from psychedelic pop to degenerate rock’n’roll; euphoric rave to industrial gloom. Now, Primal Scream is a band which is firmly a part of Britain’s musical heritage, releasing one classic hit after another along the way.
Formed in Salford, Happy Mondays are known and loved as one of the most influential bands of the 80s and 90s. Acid house, funk, psychedelia and indie collided and with that, the Happy Mondays became an important part of Manchester’s music scene. With timeless hits including Kinky Afro, and Twenty Four Hour Party People, the Happy Mondays have embarked on world tours garnering international acclaim, as well as continued massive success in the UK which remains as potent as ever to this day.
Today’s announcement comes hot on the heels of news last week that the Funk & Soul Weekender will return to Margate next summer, along with a huge headline gig at Dreamland Margate from Bad Blood hitmakers, Bastille. Tickets are on sale now.
