Is it just me or does anyone else reckon that Happy Mondays are pretty likely to cancel?

Here's my thoughts:

Shaun Ryder has been announced today as playing V Festival this coming weekend - not Happy Mondays - and on efestivals, he's playing only one other gig in Leamington Spa on Thursday 26th.

Happy Mondays website an myspace site has no dates noted at all.

Bez has been done for assaulting his ex girlfriend and is about to be sentenced on 25th August.

Either Shaun Ryder turns up himself or we have Alabama 3 as headiners - not a bad substitute given Mondays could have been shambolic anyway!! :blink:

(and I'm just happy to see James on Friday!!)

Brewdog = sore head! Although i am a fan of the odd punk IPA. BRewdog are opening a pub in aberdeen.

I hope everyone has a fab time at wizard, i had wizard envy til all the rain this week but i know if i was going i would have a fab time despite the rain. As far as local bands go i cant recommend aka ska and right hand left enough!

That was my first time at Wizard and what a great little festival it is. I don't have a bad word to say about it.

Excellent atmosphere, very friendly, spotless toilets. The main stage is in a great little natural amphitheatre.

Musically, I thought Happy Mondays disappointed with a fairly short headline set which took a while to get going (despite opening with Kinky Afro). Alabama 3 were superb - definitely one the best performances ever from them, as were James and the Peatbog Faeries.

If ever there was an understatement!! Still a bit shell shocked from the carnage that was the campsite this morning- yea gods, won't forget this festival in a hurry

It was a real mess this morning, I've never been in a campsite when the wind has been so strong, what a mess the place was in. Tents everywhere! Somebody camped next to me described it as Armageddon!

    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.

    • Solid list...  but i must ask?  are you excluding Lime Garden & Tomora as you didn't like them or is it that you havent listened to them? 
    • It was Brooklyn last year, and I seem to remember a Guinness tent
