Jungle have announced a huge Manchester gig for later this year
Jungle have announced a huge show in Manchester
Modern funk and soul band Jungle are officially heading back to Manchester, it seems.
The Mercury Prize-nominated group will be performing at the Co-op Live this November, following their blistering summer on the festival circuit last year.
Although the teaser projected onto the side of the Co-op Live last night suggested Jungle would be announcing the tour at 6.30pm tonight, someone’s jumped the gun – there are posters plastered all over Ancoats already.
And we may have spotted a hastily-deleted tweet from the venue appear earlier today too…
According to the posters, Jungle will be performing in Manchester on Friday 27 November.
The last time they performed in our city, it was a night at Warehouse Project, and a (totally different) outdoor summer show at Castlefield Bowl.
Jungle was formed back in 2013 by producers and friends Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland.
While they technically worked as a duo for years (until 2023, when touring member Lydia Kitto became an official member of the band), Jungle are known for their huge live performances.
They always fill stages with musicians and vocalists, for incredible funk n soul live shows.
The bands huge hits include Back on 74, Casio, and Busy Earnin’, from four top-10 albums including 2023’s groundbreaking Volcano.
Tickets for Jungle in Manchester will go on general sale from 10am on Friday 27 March, with Co-op member pre-sale from 10am on Thursday 26 March.
