Danny Jones Danny Jones - 2nd December 2025

Local lads M60 have announced their biggest UK headline tour yet, and are now only set to play their lengthiest run of live dates, but the largest Manchester gig they’ve played so far.

There’s nothing quite like a hometown crowd, is there?

For those who may not have yet come across them before, the Manc indie band have had a good couple of years, releasing some of their best-produced music to date and growing an even bigger following up and down the country.

If you’ve been to see M60 live here in Manchester, you’ll know they already bring a die-hard crowd of deeply loyal and passionate fans. They’re also the band that famously and successfully pestered Gary Neville every day to give them a shout-out for the best part of a year…

Revealing the latest series of shows to start off December, M60 have confirmed nearly a dozen gig dates in the new year.

Scheduled to get underway next spring, they’ll be playing throughout the month of April and into May 2026; official support act(s) are yet to be signed up, but you can expect more native talent to share in the spotlight.

You can see the full list of gigs announced down below.

Music video budget be damned, it’s still a good tune.

Having released their latest single ‘Lemonade’, along with a rather fitting new brand logo, the group are looking to kick on in 2026.

With new lead guitarist, Owen Baldwin, joining the quartet earlier this year, not to mention having played big festival slots at the likes of Kendal Calling, Neighbourhood and more this past summer, we have every faith they will.

Role Model adds Manchester arena show to world tour after huge demand

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson Role Model has added a Manchester AO Arena gig to his tour

Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Role Model has just added a huge Manchester gig to his upcoming world tour.

The star – real name Tucker Pillsbury – had previously only added one single UK date to his Chuck on Tour tour, and that was down in London.

But now Role Model is officially heading north, announcing a massive gig at the AO Arena in Manchester.

The news follows a sold-out run of dates last year, which brought him to the (much smaller) O2 Apollo here.

His star really rose after the release and viral success of his 2025 single, ‘Sally, When the Wine Runs Out’.

And now with a third studio album to his name – Chuck Timely & The Hourglass – Role Model is ready to return to Manchester and London on his 2026-2027 global tour.

The tour will travel across North America before heading overseas, with dates across Europe early next year.

Keni Titus will support Role Model at all dates on the UK and European leg of the Chuck on Tour tour.

Role Model will perform at the AO Arena in Manchester on Sunday 28 February, with pre-sales available on 4 and 5 November before general release tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 6 November – grab yours HERE.

S Club will be heading back to Manchester on a newly-announced 13-date arena tour next year.

The pop icons have announced the Ain’t No Party Like A S Club Party tour, which will see Bradley, Jo, Jon, Rachel and Tina back on stage for the ultimate pop party.

The huge tour includes a night at the AO Arena in Manchester, as well as two gigs at the O2 in London.

S Club are one of Britain’s most successful pop groups, formerly known as S Club 7, who went on to become a cultural phenomenon with their own TV series – one of which, L.A. 7, remains the highest-rated programme of all time on CBBC.

Their smash hits include Reach, Don’t Stop Movin, Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, and S Club Party.

In 2023, S Club celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sellout UK and US tour, shortly after the tragic death of former member Paul Cattermole.

Now, five of the original seven are ready to bring the party back to Manchester, as S Club return to the stage.

They’ll have very special guests supporting on the tour too, announcing Boyzlife, the supergroup made up of the former Boyzone and Westlife members Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden.

S Club say: “We can’t wait to get back out on tour, see you all and celebrate the songs, memories and moments we’ve shared together over the years.

“It’s going to be one BIG party, and we want you all to be part of it!”

S Club will play the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday 9 October 2027.

Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 6 November HERE.
