The Courteeners playing Manchester Arena, Dec ’19 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
The Courteeners will play ‘early’ shows at the Pryzm in London on January 30th and the Albert Hall in Manchester on February 16th to help launch their new album More. Again. Forever.
The band have evening shows at those venues on the same date, as well as another at the Albert Hall on February 15th, to follow the release of their latest record next month.
The main promotional tool for the album has been a multimedia collaboration with author Emma Jane Unsworth. Entitled ‘Better’, it contains three instalments of a short story written by Unsworth being serialized online together with three Courteeners videos.
“As many of you know, I’m a massive fan of acclaimed author Emma Jane Unsworth’s work so I’m especially excited to announce that when we asked Emma to write something specifically for the band, she said ‘yes’!,” Liam Fray explained on social media.
“The short story she delivered – titled Better – has been made into a short film that comprises of three Courteeners music videos. The three separate parts of the story will be also available to read online to coincide with their corresponding video.”
