Info
Arkells bring the Between Us Tour to Manchester Academy on 26 September 2026. Formed in Hamilton, Ontario, the quintet blends indie rock, alt-pop and a touch of soul, led by Max Kerman’s voice and a knack for communal choruses. From Jackson Square’s straight-ahead guitars to the keyboard-forward turns of Michigan Left and High Noon, the band has steadily widened its palette. Morning Report and Rally Cry folded in brass and R&B accents; Campfire Chords stripped favourites back to the essentials; Blink Once and Blink Twice opened the door to collaborations with Tegan and Sara, Lights, Cold War Kids and Cœur de pirate. Laundry Pile (2023) returned to songcraft at its core. On stage, Arkells tap into that whole arc, moving between tight riffs, bright keys and refrains built to be sung together.
Phantom Planet join the bill. The Los Angeles outfit centred on Alex Greenwald, Sam Farrar and Darren Robinson has shifted from the power-pop shine of The Guest — home to California — to the garage-leaning self-titled record and Raise the Dead, before reuniting for Devastator in 2020. Today they balance tuneful hooks with a leaner rock edge, with Andrew Parker on drums.
