Expect the unexpected when Shaun Ryder comes to Peterborough

He’s the wild man of rock who became a national treasure. Now Shaun Ryder, front man of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, is hitting the road for a new, spoken word tour – arriving in Peterborough in October next year.

Taking in the length and breadth of the UK – including the Key Theatre on October 13, 2024 – Shaun will talk candidly about his hedonistic life in the music industry, his successful TV career, and everything in between.

The star of more-TV-shows-than-anyone-has-a-right-to-feature-on – including Celebrity Gogglebox, and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, among many others – redefined the sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll lifestyle during the halcyon age of Madchester.

He’s touring in support of his new book: Happy Mondays - and Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays.

Shaun said: “I have certainly had a bit of a mad life and I can’t wait to share all my stories from Happy Mondays, Black Grape and beyond.

“This is me at my most honest; nothing is off the table – expect the unexpected and prepare for me to twist your melons, man.”

Fans can look forward to a carnival of excess, wild tales, and improbable truths, as they enjoy the talents of a unique rock&roll star dubbed Britpop’s answer to WB Yeats.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (September 29), at 10am from www.keytheatre-peterborough.com.

Strap yourselves in and say Hallelujah for Shaun.
