Fontaines D.C. at Wythenshawe Park – tickets, times, supports, setlist and everything you need to know
Danny Jones
Besides Oasis’ glorious Heaton Park homecoming, the two biggest headline gigs in Greater Manchester are happening this weekend, with Fontaines D.C. kicking off Live From Wythenshawe Park 2025 this Friday, 15 August.
The Irish giants are bringing their now global, groundbreaking and critically acclaimed musical exports to Manchester for the second time in less than a year, only this will be their biggest gig in this city to date.
Fontaines last visited Manchester back in November as one of the biggest rock, indie and alternative bands to play Aviva Studios, home of Factory International; it’s fair to say it was a stormer.
And now scenes like THIS are set to be scaled up to a field full of Mancs and tourists alike, so it’s best to know what you’re in for…
Fontaines D.C. at Wythenshawe Park – all the important info
Fontaines Wythenshawe Park tickets: are there any left?
For starters, if you’re wondering whether there are tickets left for Fontaines at Wythenshawe Park, we’re afraid to inform you that general admission unfortunately sold out in a flash.
There are still VIP options available via Ticketmaster if you fancy treating yourself, but they will set you back a pretty penny.
Of course, you can always keep your eyes out via trusted resale sites like Twickets and TicketSwap, but as always, proceed with caution – let’s help the kick touts out of the music industry.
'I'M GON' HIT YOUR BUSINESS IF IT'S MOMENTARY BLISSNESS—UGHHHHH!' 🔥
We’ll confess, one of the things we’re most excited about ahead of the Dublin County icons returning to 0161 is the lineup of supports booked for Fontaines D.C. at Wythenshawe Park.
There are no warm-ups; we would and have already happily paid full whack to see some of these supports headline both here in Manchester and around the North.
Not only will fans be getting to see fellow Irish post-punk band The Murder Capital kick off the live music proceedings, but Leeds’ very own Mercury Prize-winning English Teacher will be following them up, before Gaelic rap trio, Kneecap from Northern Ireland, really ramp up the energy.
There’s even going to be DJ sets from So Young record label and magazine, as well as none other than The Stone Roses’ Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield.
Fortunately, the DC boys have also made things nice and simple when it comes to stage times, too, with a full running order for each artist’s set already published.
They are as follows:
The Murder Capital – 16:25
English Teacher – 17:35
Kneecap – 18:50
Fontaines D.C. – 20:30
Doors to the massive outdoor Wythenshawe music venue will be open from 4pm, and the aforementioned DJ sets will be played in between each of the support acts, before the main event gets underway slightly earlier than most other headliners.
As for what the lads will be playing, an added bonus of their ongoing world tour is that it’s given us plenty of time to get to grips with the current Fontaines setlist – or at least the bulk of it.
This is based on their last big standout headline show at Cardiff Castle in Wales (courtesy of Setlist.fm).

Last but not least, there’s just the small matter of getting there. While we’d always recommend travelling as green as possible/using public transport where you can, there are still some car park tickets that you can buy online from the Live From Wythenshawe website.
As for those of you catching a ride, there is yellow signage to the north of the site, which will lead you to the pick-up/drop-off point on Wythenshawe Road, M23 0AB.
There are also three tram stops to choose from: Wythenshawe Park, Moor Road and Baguley. However, it’s worth noting that both Wythenshawe Park and Baguley will be closed from 9pm, so you won’t be able to get back home this way.
Big Green Coaches travelling to the gigs will also be available from various locations.
Finally, you can always catch one of the shuttle buses back into the city centre. The service will be operating in a loop from Sale and the city centre, running from 1-8pm on the way to Wythenshawe Park and then from 8pm-1:30am when heading home.
For more information, you can find all the up-to-date travel stuff HERE or check out (TfGM) Transport for Greater Manchester’s guidance and even use their interactive map.
Simplest of all, your best bet is downloading the Bee Network app, where you’ll find all the key details in one convenient place.
We also want to remind everyone to get there with plenty of time to avoid queuing and congestion on public transport in and around Greater Manchester.
Last but not least, make sure to mind the weather, drink plenty of water, look after each other and, above all else, have an absolute belter.
See you in the pit for ‘Here’s The Thing.’
Oh, and if you’re booked in for a double bill at Wythenshawe Park this weekend, you’ll find all you need to know for Sam Fender‘s headline show on the following Saturday down below.

There’s a farm in the Peak District where you can go on a Highland Cow safari and even cuddle them
Daisy Jackson
There’s a farm up in the Peak District where you can get hands-on with Highland cows, even brushing out their fluffy fringes.
Highland Cows of the Peak Experiences at Whirlow Hall Farm has loads of activities for all ages, from Highland Cow safaris to cow cuddling.
This working farm is home to a herd of fluffy cows, who graze in beautiful pastures in the hills above Sheffield.
On a visit to the farm, you can learn more about this hardy (and very cute) breed, including their hierarchies, their family bonds, and plenty more.
Visitors have the chance to get hands-on with the Highland Cows, grooming the younger cattle and feeling their magnificent horns.
The Highland Cow Safari sees visitors towed around the farm in an open-top trailer towed by a vintage tractor, observing both Peak District views and the Highland coos.
Then you can jump into the pastures with the cattle on a Meadow Moo-ch, wandering amongst the beautiful animals with their long shaggy coats and flowing fringes (dossens).
It’s over to the barn next, where you can meet, pet, and groom some of the younger highland coos during the Highland Calf Hands-On Experience.

And, cows permitting, there’s a chance to do some Highland Cow Cuddling.
Once you’ve had enough of the Highland Cows (as if that could ever happen), there’s a vineyard up here in the Peak District, and wine produced from the grapes is sold in the farm shop.
You can even get married here, in a huge barn on site.
You can find out more about the Highland Cows of the Peak Experiences HERE.
