Info
On 3 November 2026 at Manchester Academy in Manchester, The Home Team land from Seattle with a pop‑rock recipe shaped between pop‑punk roots, easycore energy and a modern pop sense for melody. Formed in the mid‑2010s, the band has tightened its sound from the rougher edges of Better Off (2018) to the sleeker Slow Bloom (2021), where R&B, funk and pop colours seep into the guitars and vocal lines. On stage, that mix turns into sharp hooks, detailed arrangements and syncopated grooves, shifting easily from punchy riffs to glossy, sing‑along passages without losing steam.
Arrows in Action join the bill, a trio that started in Gainesville before settling in Nashville. Their line traces a line between indie rock, alternative pop and power pop: nervy guitars, melodic vocals front and centre, and synth textures with a subtle 80s tint. Built To Last set the tone for concise songwriting and a balance between drive and introspection, the kind that sticks without forcing it. Live, they keep it compact and direct, letting the songs do the work while the band energy stays tight and focused.
