Madchester comes to GuilFest this July

Happy Mondays will headline the Sunday night at this year's GuilFest.

Joining the '24 Hour Party People' on the bill will be fellow Madchester scenesters The Charlatans.

Shaun Ryder, and bandmates Bez, and Gaz Whelan, will be bringing their nineties anthems such as 'Step On', 'Kinky Afro', and 'Stinkin, Thinkin', to the Main Stage. Their mix of indie rock, psychedelic rock, and dance music is sure to be a great climax of the festival.

They join the headliners for the Friday and Saturday, Motorhead, and Brian Wilson respectively.

The Charlatans have ten studio albums under their belts, and GuilFest goers can expect back-to-back anthemic indie tunes from the main stage on Saturday evening.

The line-up over GuilFest's seven music stages will continue to grow over the next few weeks along with the names of top performers for both the comedy and theatre tent.

Tickets for children between 12 and 16 years old are priced at £50 for the weekend, or £60 for weekend with camping. N.B. Children aged between 12 – 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.
