Last Friday, the legendary Happy Mondays brought their anniversary tour to Roundhouse, London, celebrating 35 years of their album ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’. The band played a solid set featuring many of the songs which made them famous, including ‘Step On’ and ‘Kinky Afro’.

Bez’s captivating dancing added energy to the show, while Shaun Ryder’s strong and steady presence on stage kept the performance grounded. Their unique dynamic remains a key part of the band’s appeal.
