Clubland’s iconic annual arena gigs are back and bigger than ever for 2024 and it wouldn’t be a proper tour without a massive Manchester date.
The legendary music brand, record publisher and TV channel might have started out selling compilation albums back in 2002, but they quickly went on to dominate the pop and dance charts throughout the noughties and the name has gone on to become a global phenomenon.
2008 saw the first-ever Clubland Live tour, playing to tens of thousands of people all over the country and now a decade and a half later, this celebration of nearly 30 years of pop, dance and club music sells out every single year without fail.
All that being said, the huge UK tour is coming to Manchester’s AO Arena next May and given the success of last year’s show, Clubland: Night of Your Life, you don’t want to miss out.
Hosted by Ibiza pros and resident MCs, Keyes and Finchy, we don’t think we’re overselling it to say that Manchester’s lineup is dreamworld stuff for any fans of this era of music.

We’ve found that a fair few people were under the impression that Clubland’s live show is just one big DJ set cycling through the best hits from down the year, but make no mistake, you’ll be getting live performances from some huge names throughout the night.
Promising appearances from the likes of Cascada, Darren Styles and the Vengaboys; Manchester veterans Flip N Fill facing off against fellow North West legends Ultarbeat; Karen Parry, Kelly Llorena and more across the tour as a whole.

There’s a total of six dates for Clubland 2024 but it goes without saying that the 20,000-capacity AO Arena show is going to be the biggest and the best.
But panic just yet, general sale tickets for Clubland Live in Manchester go live at 9:30am on Friday, 10 November, so you’ve got plenty of time to grab yours HERE.

Right, we’re off to whack on some BassHunter and roll back the years — see you there.
Noah Kahan begs fans to ‘just go to the bathroom’ ahead of Manchester shows
Daisy Jackson
Noah Kahan has had to issue a bizarre warning on concert etiquette ahead of his UK tour, after a fan apparently defecated on the floor at his show.
The Stick Season singer-songwriter, who will headline two massive gigs in Manchester this year, has begged his fans to ‘just go to the bathroom lmao’.
He’s had to speak out after videos circulated online that appeared to show human faeces beneath a chair and in the walkway at one of his US gigs.
According to witnesses at his Philadelphia show, one concert-goer relieved themselves onto the floor, then tried to kick the faeces under the seat in front.
Noah Kahan has now released a statement online that says: “If you have to poop at a show please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao.
“I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29 year old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000 yard stare after dealing with that.”
The star has since gone one step further, and addressed the poop incident on stage in Toronto.
He told fans inside the venue: “This is awkward. When you enter this building, you enter a social contract, right?
“And rule number two besides ‘don’t literally f**king kill each other’, is ‘don’t s**t on the floor’.
“So we’re gonna do some therapy type thing where we all repeat after me, okay?”
He then led the crowd to repeat the following chant: “I solemnly swear, I will not s**t my pants, and if I do, I won’t take it from my pants and put it on the floor.”
Indie legends Two Door Cinema Club announce arena show in Manchester
Daisy Jackson
Indie legends Two Door Cinema Club have announced their first arena headline tour in seven years, with a huge night in Manchester.
The group will be celebrating 15 years since the release of their seminal debut album, Tourist History.
And they’ll be playing that album in full, along with some of their greatest hits, when they hit the road next year.
Two Door Cinema Club have included a night at the AO Arena in Manchester on the tour, which will also visit Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow and London.
The trio will be calling on some big names to support them for their five arena gigs – Circa Waves and Arkayla will support in Glasgow, Manchester and London, with The Royston Club joining them for the rest.
Fans can expect to hear timeless indie anthems from Tourist History, including ‘What You Know’, ‘Something Good Can Work’, ‘Undercover Martyn’, and ‘I Can Talk’.
Speaking on the tour, the band said: “It’s been over seven years since we’ve done a UK and Ireland tour.
“Each and every one of these cities holds a special place in our hearts, we’ve played almost every venue there is to play in each of them, now it’s time for the big ones. We can’t wait.”
The news comes off the back of a massive sold-out gig at Crystal Palace Park last week, where they played to 25,000 fans, as well as a headline performance at Madison Square Gardens.
Fan presale will begin from 9am on Wednesday 1 July, before general sale stars on Friday 3 July – you can get tickets HERE.
