The Lightning Seeds have had an astonishing impact on the nation’s musical consciousness since forming in 1989.
“The Lightening Seeds made some of the most memorable songs of the ’90s and perfectly fit the bill for what promises to be a fantastic weekend of music and entertainment.”
Mark Darbon
After hitting bursting through during the ’90s with tracks such as ‘Pure’, ‘The Life of Riley’ and ‘Lucky You’, their biggest and most unforgettable hit came in 1996 with ‘Three Lions’ – which is fondly remembered by football fans as sending the England football team off to Euro ’96, and was a UK number one hit in ’96, ’98 and 2018.
Saints chief executive Mark Darbon said: “We are delighted to have secured such a high calibre act to support Madness at Franklin’s Gardens.
