The Maccabees are now due to spend two nights in Manchester early next year after adding an extra gig at the city’s Albert Hall venue to their UK touring plans.
The additional show in set for January 19th 2016, shortly before the tour is closed out with another two night stop, this time at London’s Brixton Academy on the 21st and 22nd, all to celebrate the chart-topping success of ‘Marks To Prove It‘.
“The standout moments come as a pair,” our review reads. “‘Something Like Happiness‘ is more than anything else here reminiscent of their earlier records, but comes with a maturity, a slight darkness and an unshakable brilliance that is all ‘Marks To Prove It’s own.”
“This is followed by the brilliant rage and fury, the shifting and jagged beauty of ‘WW1 Portraits‘. It hits hard, very hard indeed.”
