The Happy Mondays are to headline the K festival in Cornwall this summer, joining previously announced acts such as The Magic Numbers and The Black Velvets. Ian Whittaker, one of the festival's organisers said: "We've been working hard to get a huge name and The Happy Mondays certainly won't disappoint. They've got such as massive appeal to a huge range of people and will, without a doubt, deliver a thundering performance on the day. There's lots of new British bands touring this year and we wanted to get a massive headliner with solid rock credentials for the K-Festival. We pulled it off last year with the Fun Lovin' Criminals and are delighted that we're going to do it again this year. All of the supporting acts plus the Jellyjazz Dance Stage will give people a unique opportunity to sample an immense amount of different beats and sounds from Cornwall and further afield. There's loads more to come and we'll have more supporting acts and additional festival activities to confirm in the next few weeks so the momentum's only going to keep growing."
The event takes place on 23 Jul at St Minver, Polzeath. Limited info (more coming soon) at http://www.thekfestival.com/
