With catchy melodies and singalong lyrics, pop punk is an enduringly popular style of music – and you can be sure the bands will always put on a good live show. Here’s four pop punk gigs coming to Manchester in the coming months that you shouldn’t miss.
Kris Roe
The Ataris frontman will be playing an acoustic set at Satan's Hollow made up of classics from the group’s iconic albums ‘Blue Skies, Broken Hearts, Next 12 Exits’ and ‘So Long Astoria’. Expect singalongs aplenty.
Kris Roe, December 18, Satan's Hollow. Tickets £14.30 advance.
Mayday Parade
The Florida group are known for their lovelorn lyrics and memorable melodies, although they’ve taken a slightly grittier direction on their latest release ‘Black Lines’. They’ll be supported by The Main when they visit Manchester on their upcoming set of European dates.
Mayday Parade, January 30, The Ritz. Tickets £18.50 advance.
Neck Deep
The Welsh group are the current darlings of the pop punk world, and their most recent release ‘Life’s Not Out To Get You’ entered the UK charts at eight earlier this year. It’s two for one on this tour as they’ll be joined by NY’s State Champs when they call at Manchester as part of a world tour which includes dates in the US, Australia and Japan.
Neck Deep and State Champs, February 4, Manchester Academy. Tickets £14.85 advance.
Good Charlotte
After a four-year hiatus, Good Charlotte have returned and will be bringing back their infectious brand of catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics to Manchester for the first time since February 2011 playing alongside All Time Low. Fun fact: Good Charlotte’s drummer was born in Rochdale and previously played drums for Morrissey.
All Time Low with special guests Good Charlotte, February 12, Manchester Arena. Tickets £30.25 advance.
