Gracie Abrams announces multiple nights in Manchester on latest UK tour

Danny Jones Danny Jones Gracie Abrams Manchester dates Co-op Live gigs

Global superstar Gracie Abrams has just announced her biggest run of live dates in Manchester ever, with the US singer-songwriter set to play multiple big shows here in 0161.

Wait until you hear how many…

That’s right, Gracie Abrams is playing not one, not two, but THREE whole nights in Manchester city centre on an extensive European tour entitled ‘The Look at my Life’, with a lengthy UK leg next year, too.

Returning to the same venue she graced (get it?) back in March 2025, the American is rejecting all notions of the ‘nepo baby’ accusations and focusing on what she does best, messing things up and not just blowing smoke, but continuing to book huge gigs across the globe.

Posting on socials, the bedroom and indie-pop artist wrote: “Honoured to be joined by Rachel Chinouriri, Holly Humberstone, Del Water Gap, Charlotte Lawrence, Grace Ives, Bella Kay, Jensen McRae and The Japanese House across North America and by Samia and Jake Minch across the UK and Europe.

Advising fans across the pond to pre-order her new album, Daughter From Hell/sign up for her mailing list before 12 noon on Monday, 1 June, if they want the best chances of securing early access, she confirmed that tickets for all three Mancs go live as early next week.

She signed off by adding, “I have missed you, and I love you so much! More to come soon.”

To be honest, it’s not been all that long since we last saw her, so we can only applaud her work ethic.

Having reviewed her last Co-op Live show last year, we can confidently say she is very much a talent worthy of the praise and continues big venue recognition she is receiving.

As for the record itself, her newest LP will be her third studio project and definitely looks to be toying with the narrative spouted by her detractors to some extent…

Coming to Manchester and just a handful of other domestic locations in spring 2027, the only place she’s playing more concerts is London.

Daughter From Hell is set for a 7 July release date, and we can’t wait to see what the 26-year-old’s latest musical chapter entails.

Here in Manchester, warm-up will come from superb support act, Samia, who we caught opening up for Maggie Rogers a few years back, and we can only vouch for the quality of her live performances as well.

Once again, general admission tickets for her three Manchester gigs on 22, 24 and 25 April at 9am local time on Friday, 5 June.

You can get ready to grab yours right HERE.

Last time out.
Roll on round two…

Review | Midsomer Murders comes to Manchester for a satisfying Opera House adaptation

Hollie Wells Hollie Wells Midsomer Murders stage version theatre review Manchester Palace Theatre

‘The Fuzz are here!’ – also known as the well-known duo, Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby and
Detective Sergeant Troy. As ever, they’re here to solve the murder of orchid-loving, elderly lady Emily Simpson in the seemingly sleepy county of Midsomer…

Manchester’s historic Opera House played host to the first ever stage production of Midsomer
Murders: ‘The Killings at Badger’s Drift‘ last night.

With a busy, full audience of fans of the original novel by Catherine Graham and the acclaimed ITV staple. There was a hum of anticipation to see the timeless tales unfold.

Excitingly, the role of Barnaby in the stage play is under the trusted care of Daniel Casey, who
is best known as DS (Detective Sergeant) Troy in the prior television adaptation of Midsomer Murders between 1997 and 2008.

Casey’s comfort and wealth of experience with these narratives comforted the audience from the outset. In a purposely complicated plot, Casey grounded the performance and was the throughline in the show.

‘The Killings at Badger’s Drift’ is a good, light-hearted, mid-week show, with an enjoyable concoction of eccentric characters and the perfect ‘whodunnit’ plot, which keeps you intrigued and entertained throughout its roughly two and a half hour duration.

Even those more than familiar with Misdomer tales and the most typical murder mystery format will still get plenty of enjoyment out of it.

The engaging use of multi-role actors received a great response from the audience, particularly the moments between Barbara Lessiter and Dickie Whitley; all of their interactions were performed with fabulous comedic timing by Chandrika Chevli.

The elements of comedy throughout made for a lovely evening at the Opera House. This was
not solely through the actors, either: the use of mechanics within the set of this stage-play allowed for
multiple moments of physical comedy, and this was a strong motif throughout.

A rotation of impressive transitional sets also aided in transporting the audience to the infamous village and crime scenes, allowing one to be absorbed in the story and successfully converting Midsomer Murders from page to screen to stage.

Running for only three days from Wednesday, 27, until Saturday, 30 May 2026, with matinee shows available throughout.

One must act fast to join the detective duo and catch the killer before it’s too late!
