Info
On 26 September 2026 at Manchester Academy in Manchester, The Maine headline a night rooted in the pop rock, pop-punk and alternative spectrum they’ve shaped since 2007. The Arizona quintet — John O’Callaghan, Jared Monaco, Kennedy Brock, Garrett Nickelsen and Pat Kirch — has moved from the emo-pop burst of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop to the more guitar-forward Pioneer, then toward a brighter, melodic edge with Forever Halloween and American Candy. Their recent run, from Lovely Little Lonely and You Are OK to the self-titled The Maine, leans on crisp hooks, indie-tinged textures and lyrics that look inward, for a set that retraces this arc with clarity and momentum.
Philadelphia’s Grayscale complete the bill with a melodic approach that bridges pop-punk beginnings and contemporary alternative rock. Led by Collin Walsh, the band grew from early EPs to Adornment, before widening the palette on Nella Vita and Umbra with slower tempos, layered vocals and touches of indie pop and subtle R&B. Themes of relationships, family and mental health anchor songs built on clean guitars and sharp rhythms, setting a contrasted counterpoint to The Maine’s guitar-driven pop rock.
