Elbow make a hometown return on Tuesday 9th July following their arena tour earlier this year. Recognised as one of the UK’s biggest and most important bands, elbow have a well-deserved reputation for delivering shows that combine scale with intimacy to devastating effect. Elbow’s story is one of the most extraordinary in contemporary British music.
Following two sold shows at Manchester O2 Apollo, The National will make a huge outdoor return next year on Wednesday 10th July. The critically acclaimed American indie-alternative band released album ‘Sleep Well Beast’ last year and won a GRAMMY award for Best Alternative Music Album.

Ending the run of gigs, Haçienda Classiçal also returns with Manchester Camerata for its fourth event at Castlefield Bowl in what has becoming an annual and signature event for FAC 51 The Hacienda in its home city.

Live support comes from Inner City who are playing their first UK concert in over twenty years.
