The Happy Mondays, Alabama 3, Bad Manners and Toyah Wilcox have signed up to an anti-fracking festival organised by the prospective new Salford MP, Bez.

The ‘Frack-Free Sunday’ event will see Fleetwood FC’s Highbury Stadium hosting ten hours of music on June 1st from 11am, with The Troggs, Big Country, Bob On, Monster Squad and The People and Keelan also on the bill.

“It’s a proud day for me to announce that the first major event I’ve ever put together is being held in the North West,” Bez says. “It’s brilliant that so many people are supporting the anti-fracking message, and I’m personally doing everything I can to support the cause and raise awareness. Come and support us. Let’s make some serious noise!”

Bez is expected to stand in the traditional safe Labour constituency for next year’s UK General Election. Current incumbent Hazel Blears is stepping down in 2015.
