Pop-punk veterans New Found Glory have just announced their first full UK headline tour in over eight years, and feel free to ‘Kiss Me’ now because they’re coming back to Manchester.
We’re pretty sure we’ve still got a pair of checkerboard Vans that still fit somewhere.
American rock fans of a certain age will be more than familiar with New Found Glory, but for anyone who never had the phase, they’re up there with some of the longest-running pop-punk bands still around.
Having last released music in 2023 with a staggering 12th studio album, they’re still as prolific as they’ve ever been, and they’ll soon be heading back across the pond.
The Florida-formed four-piece first began around Coral Springs in 1997 and have been through plenty of iterations in their nearly three-decade-long career, with five different past members and even more touring musicians (including the likes of Paramore‘s Hayley Williams), but they’re still going strong.

That being said, with all the chopping and changing – not to mention still plenty of work being done in the studio – it’s been a hot minute since they’ve done a transatlantic tour.

However, they had to come back some day, and it turns out that day, at least for Manchester, is coming just next month when they’ll be playing O2 Victoria Warehouse.

Fri, 10 May – 02 Academy, Birmingham Sat, 11 May – 02 Victoria Warehouse, MCR Sun, 12 May – 02 City Hall, Newcastle Tues, 14 – 02 Academy, Glasgow Wed, 15 – Rock City, Nottingham Fri, 17 – 02 Academy, Bournemouth Sat, 18 – 02 Academy Brixton, London

Harry Styles’ One Night Only gig in Manchester will be the subject of a Netflix documentary
Daisy Jackson
A new Harry Styles special is coming to Netflix, it’s been announced today.
The star will be performing a ‘One Night Only’ special in Manchester this week, to celebrate the release of his new album.
Tickets for the (relatively) intimate gig at the Co-op Live were like gold dust – but even if you missed out, it looks like you’ll be able to get a slice of the action.
Netflix and Harry Styles have both today teased what appears to be a special documentary, set for release just two days after the show itself.
‘Harry Styles, One Night in Manchester’ will drop on the streaming platform at 7pm on Sunday 8 March.
The teaser trailer shows behind-the-scenes footage of the former One Direction star rehearsing in the studio.
He also jokingly makes the iconic ‘tudum’ Netflix sound straight into the mic before cracking a charming smile at the camera.
Harry Styles will be performing in Manchester on Friday 6 March, to mark the release of his new album Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.
The album is also set for release the same day.
He performed the first single from the album, Aperture, at the BRIT Awards on Saturday night – but his One Night Only show will be fans’ first time to hear the rest of the album live.
Netflix posted: “Ready. Steady. Go.
“Harry Styles. One Night In Manchester. Premieres March 8 at 7pm GMT/12pm PT on Netflix.”
Oasis announce surprise exclusive song on new War Child album HELP(2) releasing this week
Emily Sergeant
Surprise… we’re getting a new Oasis song on Friday.
Well, not actually ‘new’ – but we had to get your attention somehow, and hopefully we succeeded. That’s because, if you didn’t already know, this Friday (6 March) is release day for the new HELP(2)album in aid of War Child, and even before this announcement, it was already gearing up to be one of the most anticipated projects of the year.
But now, it’s got even better, as War Child Records has today announced that Oasis will feature on the album with a very-special inclusion – a stand-alone 7” single.
Fans of the iconic Manchester band will be able to listen to the track enclosed within the gatefold of the vinyl edition and as a hidden track on the double CD version, as well as it also being available to stream from this Friday too.
The band have generously contributed an exclusive live version of the fan favourite song, ‘Acquiesce (Live from Wembley Stadium, 28 September ‘25)’, to the album.
This marks the first physical release of a live recording from Oasis’ record-breaking 2025 world tour, with the recording taken from the final night of their seven-show run at Wembley Stadium.
In case you don’t remember, Oasis actually previously featured on the original HELP album all the way back in 1995, opening the record with ‘Fade Away’, and Noel Gallagher also contributed as one third of The Smokin’ Mojo Filters, alongside Paul McCartney and Paul Weller, so this is actually the band’s return nearly three decades on.
Oasis’ return proves their enduring support for War Child’s mission to ‘protect, educate, and stand up for’ the rights of children affected by conflict.

‘Acquiesce – Live’ follows other recent releases taken from the HELP(2) record, including ‘Begging For Change’ by Pulp, ‘Opening Night’ by Arctic Monkeys, ‘Flags’ by Damon Albarn, Grian Chatten & Kae Tempest, and ‘Let’s Do It Again!’ by The Last Dinner Party.
Other big-name artist set to feature on the album are Fontaines D.C, Olivia Rodrigo, Depeche Mode, Foals, Wet Leg, Ezra Collective, and countless more.
