Johnny Marr, Happy Mondays Join Oasis Bill In Manchester
Feb 25, 2000, 11:50 am PT

As tipped by allstar last week (allstar, Feb. 17), Johnny Marr's Healers will indeed make their live debut in support of Oasis at the band's hometown gig outside Manchester, England on July 15-16, but the fun doesn't stop there.

Happy Mondays, which broke up in 1992 but reunited for a few U.K. festival dates last year, have also been added to the bill, making it a full-blown Manchester soiree highlighting three separate lineages of the city's best music. The triple-bill takes place at Bolton's Reebok Stadium outside of Manchester and tickets are still available through Oasis' official Web site, but presumably not for long.

In other Oasis news, the band has added a headlining slot at Norway's Quart Festival on July 6 to their ongoing world tour itinerary.

hell yeah!!!! i'm going to Manchester this summer to see the "greatest rock-n-roll band in the world", oh yeah and some has-been opening up Johnny something. Everyone's going to see OASIS not some burned out pair of 80's band that will try to re-live the moment and try to steal the shine from Liam and Noel.

It is great that Marr is opening for Oassis. Now, if I can only get out of Manchester before Oassis take the stage...

Bolton is not Manchester. People in both places won't let you forget that.
