1Fontaines D.C.AO ArenaVictoria Station Approach, Hunts Bank, Manchester M3 1ARManchesterBiggest room they've ever filled here, and they'll still sound like they're arguing with someone.
2Band of HorsesAlbert Hall27 Peter St, Manchester M2 5QRManchesterTwenty years of that first album and I'm somehow older than the anniversary. Grand old chapel for it though.
3KornAO ArenaVictoria Station Approach, Hunts Bank, Manchester M3 1ARManchesterFirst UK tour in over a decade, apparently. My knees have aged worse than their riffs have.
