The Courteeners will cement their position as one of Manchester’s favourite homegrown bands when they play an outdoor gig at the city’s Heaton Park on June 5th 2015.
Liam Fray and co. will stamp their name along side the likes of Oasis and The Stone Roses in playing the venue next spring, with tickets going on sale from this Friday, November 28th.
The huge concert follows on from the release of ‘Concrete Love‘ earlier this year, of which Live4ever’s review opens: “Manchester’s younger sons The Courteeners have returned with a brave fourth album, ‘Concrete Love‘; they’re forever a youthful and inventive band that see the beauty in twisting heads, turning tables, and tearing out hearts.”
“Their experimentalism is exceptional, their madness amazing. The Courteeners can no longer be marginalised by the narrow-sights and small-sized minds of the judges of modern-day music.”
“Limited to pub jukeboxes? Not when they have the tunes to pack out palaces across the legendary localities of our globe with as much spite, snarl and seriousness as a real man whilst also being greatly brave, adventurous and innovating, providing some mystery beneath an ocean’s worth of prolific songwriting.”
