Courteeners Announce Huge Manchester Show
It’s always exciting when a band we love hints at something new, isn't it? Recently, the beloved Manchester group Courteeners really got their fans buzzing with a cryptic Instagram post. They shared a video featuring a neon pink outline of the UK, with an arrow homing in on the Greater Manchester area, and a date: "See you on the 17th. 17.10.25." This little teaser sent their dedicated followers into a frenzy of speculation, and honestly, who can blame them?
As reported by Manchester Evening News, the theories ranged from a special anniversary show to a return to Heaton Park, a venue where they previously played to a sold-out crowd of 25,000 in just 40 minutes back in 2015. Some fans even thought the arrow might be pointing towards Warrington, suggesting a potential appearance at the Neighbourhood Weekender festival. It’s that shared anticipation, that feeling of being in on a secret with thousands of other fans, that makes being a music lover so special.
But then, the news we've all been waiting for broke. Courteeners have announced a massive hometown show for next summer! According to Manchester Wire, they'll be headlining Wythenshawe Park on August 29th. This isn’t just any gig; it’s part of the Live From Wythenshawe Park concert series, a venue that’s hosted some incredible names since it became a live music destination.
And the support acts? They're just as exciting. The Vaccines will be performing their debut album in full, alongside The Coral, Getdown Services, and Girl In The Year Above. It sounds like a day set to be packed with brilliant music. What I find particularly touching is that £1 from every ticket sold will go directly to the Music Venue Trust, a charity dedicated to protecting and improving grassroots music venues. It’s a wonderful reminder of how interconnected the music scene is, from the biggest headliners to the smallest clubs.
This announcement has certainly amplified the buzz around courteeners, and it makes you wonder what other incredible live music experiences await us next year. Are you as eager as I am to get your hands on those tickets?
