Black Stone Cherry « The Celebrate Tour »

Black Stone Cherry bring their southern-fired hard rock to Manchester Academy on 24 October 2026 for An Evening With… Black Stone Cherry. Formed in Kentucky, the band led by singer-guitarist Chris Robertson and guitarist Ben Wells has shaped a sound where thick riffs, blues grit and straight-to-the-point hooks meet. Expect a set that threads early staples like Rain Wizard and Lonely Train with the muscle of Folklore and Superstition and the punch of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea and Magic Mountain. Recent cuts from The Human Condition and Screamin’ at the Sky keep the edge sharp, shifting from head-nod grooves to harder hits.

On stage, Black Stone Cherry lean into rugged guitars, tight vocal harmonies and choruses made to be shouted back, mixing southern colour with a contemporary, heavier tilt. An Evening With suggests time to stretch out: deeper cuts, melodic breaks, maybe a slow-burner before the next riff lands. A night of high-energy rock rooted in the South, loud, warm and at home in a room like Manchester Academy.
