Legendary Greater Manchester rock band Elbow are returning to Manchester city centre next year for a huge outdoor summer gig.
It may be over half a year away but the concert calendar is looking pretty packed and with this new tour announcement – let’s hope there’s some elbow room for… Elbow. (Sorry)
Visiting one of Manchester’s most impressive outdoor venues, Castlefield Bowl, next year after playing Manchester’s newest entertainment venue Co-op Live in May this year proves how influential this band really are.
Elbow are a Bury-formed English rock band who dropped their debut in 2001 and soared from height to even bigger height ever since.
Following their introduction into the music industry, the band have accolades and achievements like no other, even writing the song for the London 2012 Olympics titled ‘First Steps’.
This year also saw the rock five-piece score their fourth number one album on the UK charts with their latest album Audio Vertigo.
Their biggest hit ‘One Day Like This’ is a household classic and one that will never be forgotten, as the crowds at their shows know how to sing every single word as loud as they possibly can.
UK fans of the band can follow Elbow round the country as the Manchester dates follows the announcement of more shows including York, Warwick, Tynemouth and more.
Within these cities, the tour is taking place in some phenomenal locations including castles, nature reserves and our stunning city centre.
Guy Garvey said: “We are returning to venues we’ve really loved for summer ‘25 and also visiting some towns and cities that we haven’t been to for a while. There’s nothing like settling in for the evening with old friends.”
Manchester is set to be a very special gig, not only is this the closest date to their hometown in Bury, they’ll also be bringing out guests The Slow Readers Club too.
The special guests are also from Manchester too seeing great success with their indie rock bangers which have been compared to the likes of The Killers.
Elbow are set to play to the crowds of Manchester at Castlefield Bowl on 2 July 2025 with tickets going on sale Friday 18 October HERE.

Drinks prices for Manchester Oasis gigs announced – and you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Daisy Jackson
The prices of drinks at Heaton Park for the five huge Manchester Oasis shows have been released in advance.
With the Gallagher brothers reuniting on stage in their hometown for the first time this weekend (and then again next week), it’s a huge moment for our city.
Those lucky enough to snag tickets have already forked out a small fortune to witness this moment in history (still scarred from the dynamic pricing debacle).
And most of us were probably bracing to spend another small fortune on beers at the Oasis Manchester gigs.
But you might be pleasantly surprised at the drinks prices up at Heaton Park for Oasis Live ’25.
It’s now been confirmed that pints of lager and cider will be just £6.50.
Before you turn your nose up, remember that pints at our two arenas – the AO Arena and Co-op Live are now sitting around the £9 mark.
Prices for other drinks, like wine and spirits, we’ll have to wait until Friday to see.
Heaton Park will also be the home of the ‘largest beer garden’ and the longest bars in the city for the Oasis reunion.
With a major heatwave predicted for the first shows, fans are being encouraged to stay hydrated (on WATER, not beer, please).
Ticket-holders will be allowed to bring a sealed bottle of water up to 500ml in with you, but it must be collapsible plastic.
Solid plastic and metal containers will be rejected on safety grounds.
There’s a free water point on site where you can fill up your bottles again.
Oasis will perform at Heaton Park in Manchester on 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July.
