Courteeners Announce Huge Outdoor Manchester Show

Death, taxes, Courteeners announcing a huge outdoor show in Manchester, some things are just inevitable. These huge gatherings in the city have been a thing for over a decade, with the first being Castlefield Bowl, and the most recent being a third time at Middleton's Heaton Park. 

The Manchester show for 2026 marks a debut for Courteeners, though. A first time playing in Wythenshawe Park, a venue that in the last few years has hosted Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Blossoms, New Order, Sam Fender and Fontaines D.C., with three shows next year coming from Lewis Capaldi, The Cure, with Slowdive and of course Courteeners.

Joining the band will be a host of special guests, including The Vaccines, who will play their 2011 debut album ‘What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?’ in full, The Coral, Getdown Services and Girl In The Year Above on Saturday, August 29.

Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 am on Friday, October 24 and can be purchased here. Every ticket sold will also see £1 going directly to the Music Venue Trust to support new artists on tour, and invest in the future of live music.

Will any of you be attending?
