Courteeners

Courteeners bring their Manchester-forged indie rock to Alexandra Palace, London, on 14 November 2026. Formed in 2006 around singer and songwriter Liam Fray with Michael Campbell and Daniel Moores, the group has grown from sharp, guitar-led hooks into a broader palette that folds in synth textures without losing its direct, melodic core. The current lineup with producer-bassist Joe Cross and keyboardist Elina Lin underpins songs that balance tight rhythms, ringing riffs and everyday storytelling.

Across albums St. Jude, Falcon, Anna, Concrete Love and Mapping the Rendezvous, then More. Again. Forever. and Pink Cactus Café, Courteeners trace a line from post-Britpop and post-punk revival roots to sleeker, late-night hues. On stage the band moves between early staples and recent material, letting the melodies breathe while the grooves stay lean. A show anchored by Manchester instincts and a catalog shaped over nearly two decades, delivered in a room made for singalongs without the gloss.
