KLF return with a three day situation in Liverpool
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 21 July 2017
The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu promised they would return this summer, and now we have actual details of how that return will play out. Though don’t be expecting any music. You will, however, get both a book and a “situation”.
Faber & Faber will publish a novel from Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, probably better known as The KLF, on 23 Aug, at the start of an event on Merseyside called ‘Liverpool: Welcome To The Dark Ages’.
Billed as a “three day situation”, each day of ‘Welcome To The Dark Ages’ has a title – day one is ‘Why Did The K Foundation Burn A Million Quid?’; day two is ‘2023 – What The Fuuk Is Going On?’; and day three is ‘The Rites Of MuMufication’.
The official announcement of these festivities adds that “there will only be 400 tickets available; there are no guest lists; there are no press passes”, before delivering a warning that “the Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu in any of their various past, present or future guises will not be performing music”. So consider yourself duly warned.
