Cinephiles will know Monday's co-headliners from Pretty In Pink and 24 Hour Party People
respectively, but it's the record geeks who'll be freaking out as Psychedelic Furs and Happy
Mondays transform the Newport into 1980s Great Britain. Openers Islands are touring in support of
Vapours, which finds former Unicorn Nick Diamonds scaling back the dense layering of Arm's Way to
reveal a nasally, Caribbean take on New Wave.
