Fresh from announcing their new album, Manc music legends Courteeners have now revealed they are set to play a massive Manchester show at the Co-op Live later this year.
The Middleton-formed favourites of the modern indie scene are probably one of Greater Manchester’s biggest exports of the last two decades and while they might have dropped the The these days, everyone still knows who you’re talking about when they hear that name.
So, it’s no surprise that after announcing their first new material in four years and still smashing massive festival slots year in and year out, as they did at Lytham earlier this month, Courteeners have booked a gig at the new Co-op Live arena.
Imagine how mad ‘Not Nineteen’ Forever is going to go off in here…

Better yet, we’re pretty buzzing about the support acts too, as for every tour date other than London, Courteeners will be opened for by fellow indie rock icons, DMA’S, who we’ve got a very big soft spot for here over at Audio North.
The Aussie outfit have a massive following of their own here in the UK and sell-out big venues all over Europe; plus, since we now know that the core trio feature on the ‘Teener’s upcoming record, Pink Cactus Cafe, it only makes sense to have them come along for the ride.
Plus, we already saw them smash it as supports for the local lads at their now legendary Heaton Park show in front of 50,000 Mancs last summer, so we know this is just another day at the office for them.
We’re very much looking forward to hearing ‘Silver’, ‘Lay Down’, ‘In The Air’, and all their other bangers at the biggest indoor entertainment venue on the continent.
