Slowthai explained that the decision to postpone the inaugural Happyland festival was down to difficulties out of his control: 

“Unfortunately, due to things out of my control, we couldn’t put the show together at the standard that I wanted for the first-ever event.”

Happyland Festival was set to take place on Saturday the 25th of September at County Cricket Ground in Northampton. IDLES, Shygirl, and Easy Life were some of the artists on the bill for the event. 

The festival, created and curated by Slowthai, was due to be presented by himself and Golden Voice but will be postponed until further notice.

‘The One Last Haim‘ Summer 2022 tour kicks off in Dublin on the 28th of June and ends in London on the 21st of July. Both Manchester’s show’s in July are now sold out.

The band planned to tour their third studio album: ‘Women in Music Pt. III.’, during September of this year, but CDC travel stipulations will mean that they will inevitably have to wait till next year.

Despite these regulations, the band stated in an interview with NME that they would be ramping it up for their fans attending the summer shows to compensate for this year’s cancellation.

Special guest Georgia will also be performing at their UK and Dublin Tour.

Ticket information will be available here.

The band have confirmed support slots that will play on a rotational basis. St. Vincent, Shame, Hot Milk and Courtney Barnett will all appear during these shows.

The band is currently on tour in the US and has played New York’s Maddison Square Garden and Chicago’s Lollapalooza. In an interview with NME, frontman Dave Grohl expressed some concerns with some American festival capacities. The frontman claimed that some of them can still feel very “intimate”, which is why he and the rest of the band have their sights firmly set on the UK’s biggest stadiums for 2022.

The UK fan base will also have the opportunity to hear live material from the band’s 10th studio album: “Medicine at Night”, released back in February on American soil.

Tickets are on sale from 9 am on Friday, August 20, and will be available here.

GERRY CINNAMON UK Tour update pic.twitter.com/FdvVIiGSHH

— GERRY CINNAMON (@GerryCinnamon) March 20, 2020

The tour begins at the Leeds Festival on the 27th of August 2021 and ends in Glasgow’s Hampden Park on Saturday the 16th of July 2022. Most of the venues on Cinnamon’s tour schedule are sold out, but there are still tickets available at some venues on the list.

All existing tickets will remain valid for those who booked before the tour cancellation due to Covid-19. Worldwide government guidelines in 2020 stated that no concerts could effectively take place to minimize the risk of spreading the Covid-19 virus, meaning that all music fans who had bought tickets before the pandemic had no choice but to wait until further notice. Cinnamon expressed gratitude to his fans on Instagram for their collective understanding.

Fans of the Sheffield four-piece have responded to the post, which has racked up over 1000 likes in 5 hours.

The band toured relentlessly following their 6th album release and decided to go their separate ways in 2019, following a long and successful spell of playing shows worldwide.

Due to travel restrictions during the pandemic, the band was unable to meet each other. One-half of the band resides in LA and the other half in London. In recent months, fans have debated on Twitter whether or not the Arctic Monkeys would have produced more music if it hadn’t been for the global pandemic of 2020. Drummer Matt Helders set the record straight in a podcast with Shapel Lacey, explaining that the band would have been ready to get the ball rolling again for album number 7 if it wasn’t for the global pandemic.

That said, there may be good news on the horizon for fans after all, as a new album is reportedly in the works. According to a statement taken from the Butley Priory’s website, the band has used the venue to record new material. The Priory bodes well as a venue that provides many possibilities for musicians: “Musicians love the acoustics in the Great Hall and Drawing room, with their huge vaulted ceilings.”

Nothing has been confirmed yet by the band.
