THE COVASETTESANNOUNCE NEW MANCHESTER SHOW23rd SEPTEMBER 2023
Today, The Covasettes have announced a new hometown headline show at Manchester Academy 2 for Saturday 23rd September. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Thursday 20th April, here.
If you’d asked The Covasettes when they first met at uni what they’d expect to be doing in 2023, they could never have predicted what was to come. Fast forward to today and the lads have quite the list of achievements under their belt: sold-out shows across the country, 6 million Spotify streams, and stealing the show at UK festivals and beyond, just to name a few
They’re continually blown away by how many milestones they’ve passed in just a few years of making music. Most notably including support slots with The Sherlocks, Zuzu, The Hara, Larkins and more; national radio play on Radio 1, Radio XS and BBC Introducing; and making it on the reputable Spotify Indie List.
The Covasettes’ time spent living together in Manchester allowed them to hone in on their signature indie sound comprising frontman Chris Buxton’s heartfelt lyrics and melody, guitarist Matt Hewlett’s infectious riffs, drummer Matt Buckley’s rock-inspired grooves and bassist/producer Jamie McIntyre’s pop production sensibilities. Their upcoming release ‘Duvet Thief’ plays perfectly to these strengths but is also infused with an undeniable fresh energy that will mesmerise long-time fans and new listeners alike.
