Yeah I've applied for tickets but heard nothing as of yet.

Also see that Transmission is coming to Brighton soon and you can apply for audience tickets.. not sure who is on that particular week though.

It’s due south for T-Mobile Street Gigs as we present The Great Escape – a three day helping of Brighton rock ‘n’ roll – with a unique Street Gigs twist, making this the coast with the most over the weekend.

There’ll be a wave of 200 bands hitting Brighton, including a select number of intimate one-off T-Mobile Street Gigs. And for the opening gig we’ve netted quite a catch – even for a seaside town. The Happy Mondays will be taking it away, with exclusive tracks from their new album with the working title of Freaky Funky Fish and Chips on Thursday 17 May on Brighton Pier.

As with all T-Mobile Street Gigs, artist and venue go together like salt ‘n’ vinegar. In Shaun’s words “I love Brighton. Like us it’s sleazy and mucky and cool and funky, that’s why I wanna come down with our new band and play our new songs. Bez wants to play the Dolphin Derby all day; Gaz has challenged Norman Cook to a football match and I’m gonna bring my mountain bike to go across the Downs…”

Plus if you’re selected for the guest list, you’ll also have unlimited access to the rest of The Great Escape festival. For your chance to be one of the lucky few to stroll down the pier on the night, sign up before 11am on Friday 11 May.

thanks Wookie - I'd love to be on the guest list for the Mondays.

Where's Brighton Pier? I've heard of Palace Pier and West Pier, but this Brighton Pier is new to me.

Since the Nobbies thought they where the only pier in Brighton and set fire to the better looking one (apparently)??

Cool might try and make this one money depending.

How do you get past the bastid sign-up page. Fill in all fields and it comes back and tells me to fill all the fields correctly with no hints or tips or anything. Is there an obscure 'I Agree' tickbox on the page anywhere. or does it just not work from AOL?

And yes I have tried switching it off and on again. Twice.

Actually, switching it off and on a THIRD time worked

Name's in the hat

 

[The Wookiee]

has anybody won a ticket ?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I have won 2 tickets for this, not that I have EVER heard of this "Happy Mondays" lot. My sister used my phone number to enter the draw, and we BOTH won, so she now has 4 tickets. I'll have to check, but I just might have 2 spares.

I'll buy one off ya TCB - or swap for a Pet Shop Boys ticket

Assuming it's not a wind-up

The transmission line-up is a bit disappointing too;

Scissor Sisters (how predictable!), Cold War Kids, The Gossip and Pull Tiger Tail.

Still holding out for news on the Mondays!
