The Courteeners at the Manchester Apollo 9th & 10th October

Hottest Northern indie band in years return to Manchester during a nationwide tour.

Manchester's next big thing are at the Apollo after the summer's festival gigs are out of the way. It almost seems like they never stop touring with gigs already played in January and April already. How they found time to record their current album, 'St. Jude', is a mystery.

The band have previously played at The Ritz and had a swiftly sold out show at the Academy. Now they're at the Apollo and it might be the last opportunity to see them in a medium-sized venue before they are at the likes of the M.E.N. Arena.
