slowthai says of the festival, "Happyland with happy folk. The place where we can laugh and joke. The place you can be yourself without judgment, expectations and impressions of someone else. The space from the shackles of the everyday. The mountain where we climb to run away. Imagine what you’ve never had when you come to Happyland - you will never be sad."

Happyland will take place at Northampton Cricket Ground on 25 September. Tickets go on sale Friday (14 May) from 10am BST at aegpresents.co.uk.
