The Courteeners have announced a show at Manchester’s Heaton Park for June 15th next year.
It’s another huge hometown concert for the band, who’ll be joined at their latest big day by James and Pale Waves. And it’s another sign of the enduring popularity enjoyed by The Courteeners in parts of the UK – something which Live4ever observed in our review from Reading Festival makes them ‘perhaps the most curious act in rock today‘:
“Ignored by scenesters and largely by the press, they can sell out Heaton Park in their hometown and must have played Reading countless times. Their ascent up the bill has been glacial – now only one step away from the top, they auditioned for the headline slot in relentless fashion.”
“A career-spanning set, the highlight The 17th, one of their most recent singles, is a subtle banger driven by synth keyboards, a world away from the cranium crushing Cavorting, which was also given an airing.”
