Fink

On 12 November 2026 at Manchester Academy in Manchester, Fink brings the lean, guitar-centred sound that has marked his shift from Ninja Tune’s downtempo sphere to folk and blues-inflected songwriting. Behind the name is Fin Greenall, who began in the late 1990s crafting electronic productions before turning toward voice and acoustic guitar as his main tools. Since Biscuits for Breakfast, Fink has operated as a trio — guitar, bass, drums — a setup that underpins his songs with a steady pulse while keeping arrangements spare and focused.

On stage, the grain of his voice sits up front, fingerpicked patterns circling over subtle grooves, with space left for repetition and tension to do their work. That approach runs through albums like Distance and Time, Sort of Revolution, Perfect Darkness, Hard Believer, Resurgam and Bloom Innocent. Alongside his studio work, Fink has explored live and orchestral formats — notably with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra — and writes for other artists, a back-and-forth that feeds his sense of dynamics in concert. Expect a set shaped by careful details, grounded rhythms and melodies that hold their line without excess.
