Jamiroquai has announced a massive Manchester gig as part of their huge UK and European tour – and yes, for the last time, it’s a band not just one bloke.
Yes, big hat man and his troupe are returning to Manchester for one night only and no we’re not talking about Santa: it’s big JQ – or Jay Kay to his friends – the 90s and noughties hit-maker with the best moves this side of the Mersey and irresistible funk that never fails to make you dance around the kitchen.
After six whole years away from full headline touring, the London-formed band with very Manc ties are set to play 14 dates across here at home and on the continent, with the music veterans landing none other than a Co-op Live debut for their Manchester date.
32 years on from playing pubs and clubs around the country and after being away for more than half a decade you might say that still having this kind of pulling power is ‘Virtual Insanity’. Had to be done…
Known for other much-loved hits like ‘Space Cowboy’, ‘Cosmic Girl’, ‘You Give Me Something’ and many more, Jamiroquai was formed by the Stretford-born frontman (real name Jason Luís Cheetham) back in 1992, with their breakout album Emergency on Planet Earth releasing a year later to great success.

The acid jazz and funk experts need no introduction really but we’ll give them one anyway. 15 Brit Award nominations, two Guinness World Records, a Grammy, more than 1.7 billion Spotify streams and counting, not to mention the single greatest collection of headwear known to man.
Sending a message to their fans on social media, the band wrote: “One Man’s mission, for 30 years and counting, to put groove music into YOUR LIFE.

“Will you join us in the fight to Let The Disco Stay The Same – to conquer all your inner fears and boogie like NEVER before? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES to heal the world through MUSIC?
“DO YOU HAVE…. THE HEELS OF STEEL!” Ever a flare for the theatrical, eh?
‘The Heels of Steel’ tour kicks off this time next year, with a first night in Barcelona on 6 November kicking a two-month-long party into gear.

Jamiroquai doesn’t make it to Manchester and the Co-op Live arena until 6 December 2025, but we’re already getting our dancing shoes at the ready.
Pre-sale can be accessed from 9am on Wednesday byregistering on the band’s website and general admission tickets go on sale this Friday, 22 November at the same time.
You can grab yours HERE and we’ll see you out on the dancefloor.

Oasis Live ’27 ticket prices have been announced ahead of their almighty 2027 stadium tour.
The band announced a return to the stage this week, after weeks of cryptic videos and even a drone show over Manchester.
Their 2027 shows will span some of the biggest venues in the world, including an eye-watering 11 nights at the Etihad Stadium in their native Manchester, as well as four shows at Knebworth.
Oasis Live ’27 will also take them to Glasgow, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, and Slane Castle in Ireland.
Tickets will be sold through a strict fan registration process this year, with only successful registrants even invited to try and buy tickets.
But ahead of that, Oasis have revealed the ticket prices for the Oasis Live ’27 Manchester shows – and unlike the dynamic pricing fiasco, prices will be fixed this time.
Fans will be able to snap up a ticket for as little as £74.60 for seated tickets, with seats then costing up to £266.60, including fees.
Standing tickets will be priced at either £173.60 or £206.60.

Oasis Live ’27 – how to get tickets to huge Manchester Etihad Stadium run
Daisy Jackson
Oasis are officially heading back out on tour, announcing 11 massive nights at the Etihad Stadium for 2027 – but tickets will work a little differently this time around.
The legendary Manchester band will be running the ticket onsale via a registration process, to give ‘genuine fans the best possible chance of getting tickets’.
Unlike a normal ticket sale, where fans can all battle in queues and waiting rooms to buy tickets in a general sale, this time fans must register to even get in the queue.
They’ve made the decision because of ‘anticipated extremely high demand for Oasis Live ’27’.
Those who fought the Ticketmaster War for Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets will be familiar with the process, but here’s everything Oasis have shared so far.
A registration process will be in place to access the onsale for Oasis Live ’27 – this is the only public way to access tickets.
Registrants will be selected at random to receive a unique code, which will allow you to try and get tickets.
You must use the email used for your Ticketmaster account to register for the process.
Receiving a code does not guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets, but it does get you into the right queue.
There will then be different onsale times and dates for different shows and cities, with ticket onsales taking place between Friday 25 September and Sunday 27 September.
After entering your email, you’ll receive an extra link, where you can rank your preference on cities you would like to see Oasis in.
Fans will then have to answer a trivia question – ‘Which Oasis album was released in 1995?’
Registration for Oasis Live ’27 tickets is open now HERE, and you have until 4pm on Thursday 17 September to register.
