Happy Mondays 2026 UK tour: Presale code, dates, venues, and more explored

Happy Mondays have officially confirmed a UK and Ireland tour for 2026 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their album Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches. The newly announced run will see the Manchester-based band revisiting one of the most beloved albums of the Madchester era.

The anniversary tour follows the deaths of original bassist Paul Ryder in 2022 and guitarist Paul "Wags" Wagstaff in 2025. In memory of Paul Ryder, the band recently released a charity EP built around Tart Tart. It was their debut single from 1987. Proceeds are going to MusiCares, a charity that supported him during his lifetime.

Happy Mondays took to their official Instagram profile to announce the upcoming 2026 tour. The post read:

"Celebrate 35 years of Pills 'N' Thrills and Bellyaches across the UK in 42026, with special guest @thefarmlive and @northside_band! Tickets are available on pre-sale on Wednesday 17th September at 10 am using the code GodsCop2026 #HappyMondays"

In a press statement, Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder spoke about the trek:

"I am really looking forward to getting back on tour with the Mondays in 2026, especially with our old mates The Farm who are touring with us."

The Farm's Peter Hooton added:

"We are absolutely delighted to be joining the Happy Mondays as special guests on their forthcoming tour. We go back a long way, having first met them at one of our gigs at the Boardwalk Manchester in 1986, when their style and attitude struck a chord.

"We also played with them at the legendary Elland Road gig in 1991 and toured with them in 2005, so we can't wait for these gigs. It will be like a meeting of the tribes once again!"
