Indie rock outfit The K’s are positively riding on the crest of a wave at the moment, their second studio album ‘Pretty On The Internet’ debuted at number one on the Official Charts and now today they have annouced their biggest shows to date at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl on July 3rd 2026 and Halifax’s Piece Hall on August 8th 2026.

These two incredible atmospheric amphitheatres are not only incredible spaces for live music, but in the case of Castlefield Bowl boasts a capacity of approximately 8,500 – making it easily The K’s biggest show to date, making it a milestone gig for the four lads from Earlstown.

Whilst indie guitar bands have seen a massive resurgence in recent times, The K’s have proved that they are leaders in the field with their unmistakable sound and infectious personalities. Front Man Jamie Boyle’s songwriting prowess is enriched by the electrifying soundtrack of their music, earning them an adoring cohort of devoted fans.

The setlists for these HUGE shows are sure to include classic fan favourites such as ‘Sarajevo’, ‘Glass Towns’, ‘Home Town’ ‘ & Dacton’ as well as new favourites like ‘Oh, Helen I’, ‘The Bends’ & ‘Me and Your Sister’.

It’s been an honour to watch this band steadily grow over recent years, from playing small intimate venues, to festivals stages and a current European tour to now annoucing their biggest headline to date. You can expect that this gig will be an absolute throng of the ever ready K’S Army!

Having opened for Blossoms at Wythenshawe Park last year, and playing huge festival slots at the likes of Kendal Calling just last month, The K’s are no strangers to big crowds – but this will be something “pretty special” indeed! .

Official artist presale access will be available this Wednesday, 17 September from 9:30am by signing up to the band’s mailing list and general admission tickets for both dates will go live at 9am on Friday 19th Sept.
