Fratelli’s, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets & Fun Lovin Criminals Announced!






Following weeks of speculation and rumour about the Versus Cancer line up, we can announce that the phenomenal Fratelli’s, legendary Manchester acts The Happy Mondays & the Inspiral Carpets, and New York’s finest the Fun Lovin’ Criminals will be amongst the acts playing at the concert.

More big name announcements will also be announced in the coming weeks so watch this space.

The concert will be The Fratelli’s first gig in Manchester for almost a year. The band had a mammoth 2007 with sold out Manchester shows, acclaimed festival performances and a Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act.

Legendary Madchester acts The Happy Mondays and the Inspiral Carpets are geared up to provide some of the local indie flavour that we at Versus Cancer are famous for. Fresh from their major comeback in 2007, the Mondays are set to treat the arena crowd to some of their greatest hits as well as one-off collaborations following Sean and Bez’s part in the all star finale of ‘Wrote for Luck’ at our 2006 concert alongside Peter Hook, Mani, Andy Rourke, Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr.

Last but certainly not least, arguably one of the most famous bands to come out of New York, the Fun Lovin Criminals are set to bring an international slant to the bill. The band, which first formed in 1993, have become legends of the music scene and now nearly 15 years on, and 9 albums later, they’re set to take to the stage of the MEN Arena with some exciting one off collaborations with the Happy Mondays.

We hope to see you there! (Tickets are still on sale)
