Cage the Elephant delivered an electrifying and outstanding performance at the O2 Apollo. Manchester on February 14, 2025.

The gig from start to finish was a pure tornado of raw energy mixed with vibrant visuals cementing their status as one of the most exciting acts in modern rock today.

As a kaleidoscope of colour swept across the stage, Cage the Elephant erupted into their set igniting the venue into an absolute frenzy.

The band’s frontman, Matt Shultz, is a whirling dervish of unrepentant energy seeing him dancing and jumping across the stage engaging with crowd throughout with his signature blend of swagger and cheeky charisma.

The visuals were a dazzling array of lasers slicing through the smoke-filled room enhancing the sensational vibe of the whole gig and the setlist was a well-thought out mix of the band’s greatest hits interspered with newer material, making for a perfect mix.
