Manchester Academy

Absolutely cracking night. A mix of tracks from across the years and PL commanded the floor. Nick was in fine Yorkshire form which pains me to say being from Lancashire and quipped with his usual dry humour. The band sounded tight and the 9 tracks flew by in a heartbeat. A lot of people were understandably there for King Diamond tonight but PL held their own and I felt that their sound mix was the best of the evening. This slot was certainly a nice warm up for the upcoming Ascension of Europe tour later this year and can’t wait to see them at New Century Hall and then in December at Wool City Rockers in Bradford. We also have the new album to look forward to and hopefully the hardest working band from the North will be playing a tune or three from it at those shows.

Best concert I’ve been to by far, lost my voice by the end of the night even cried to a speech he gave out as I related so much to it but best night ever

I think I'm well into double figures with the amount of times I've seen BT now. They never disappoint! Not only do they bring energy, but also consideration for your fellow human.

This was by far my favourite SFG gig. My daughter, through no choice of her own, grew up with Scouting for Girls tunes. As a 3 year old, her favourite opener was 🎶 she’s a strawberry milkshake 🎶 She was excited to join me in Manchester, we requested the Airplane song— and guess what….they only went and played it🫶🏼💕 Thanks, Roy, Greg, Pete, will see you next in Warrington.

Not sure why it won’t let me give 5 stars, but these guys are a must see. Unreal atmosphere and these guys have an insane stage presence

Fantastic production, crystal clear sound and amazing light design. Very emotional and beautiful concert. Cian was very open and sand from the heart. Good interaction with the public.

Brilliant show! Phantom Elite & Skarlett Riot were excellent, will be on the lookout to see them again. Xandria were awesome! This is the second time I 've seen them live and they were even better than before. My only gripe is the lack of a keyboard player and the reliance on playback, but a whole orchestra + choir would be a tall order. Fantastic gig!

Jaw-dropping multi-genre, musical ability from all members of the band. Billy a force of nature. Great venue and great atmosphere. Who knew bluegrass could be so cool.

bbno$ was amazing, really great crowd work as the whole venue was hyped! Fingers crossed for Baby Gravy UK tour in the future 🤞🏼

Traveled back in time 20 years, was brilliant! A shame I don’t recover from a night like that as easily as I would have 20 years ago, but totally worth the pain 😉

bvb was good but the venue felt too full and i missed most of cemsun despite arriving half and hour before doors because it was disorganised asf

Excellent as always. This is the third tour I have travelled from Galway Ireland to see the HU in Manchester uk & I am looking forward to the next tour.

The performance by the HU was excellent as usual, and the whole hall was rocking from the 1st song to the last! Until you have heard this group live you really are missing out on a unique experience, absolute class act! 🤟🤟

First gig in 10 years. There was no better gig to return to live music for. I urge people to go see them when they are back in the UK!

Coheed are always a force to be reckoned with on stage, they demand every ounce of the crowds attention. Their stage presence is undeniably entertaining with brilliant songs to boot. The venue is well situated & easy to access, my only gripe would be the cost of a beer was expensive, but what do you expect. Great atmosphere, great music and was brilliant to have Coheed back on our shores after so long.

The Barstool Preachers and the Skints were absolutely outstanding. The Interrupters were everything you’d expect listening to their records. Full of energy and songs to sing along and dance too. A bad who deserve more recognition. Sublime!

Absolutely amazing! The room was electrified and the crowd expectations matched from the first chord! Band and crowd fed each other and the result was something to remember!

Honestly didnt know much of his songs before going, only watching his videos but after this concert i became a fan of his music

Brilliant! What a front man Samuel T Herring is the only gripe is that the venue is not as good as the Apollo or the Albert Hall

Good vibe, didn’t do a lot of the songs off Hoodie SZN which is what was expected tbh, the supporting acts were decent except when they were obviously lip syncing, and this isn’t Boogies fault by any means but all of the crowd were proper fans it would’ve been better, but Boogie was sick and made his already good songs sound even better.... Good Job Artist 🙏 mosh pits weren’t anything special either :(
