Courteeners are taking the castles, parks and amphitheaters of England by storm next summer, with The Coral riding shotgun for a chunk of the run.
The Manchester band have unveiled a fresh batch of 2027 UK headline dates, bolted onto festival slots they had already locked in at Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington on May 30 and Isle of Wight Festival on June 20.
The headline leg opens at Lincoln Castle on June 11, then heads to the coast for Scarborough Open Air Theatre on June 12.
July brings Newcastle Exhibition Park on July 8 and Halifax Piece Hall on July 9, where Ellur open. The Coral and Seb Lowe join the bill in Scarborough and Newcastle.
Next up is Live at Ludlow Castle on Friday, July 16, with The Coral and The Guest List in support.
The finale is the big one: Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus on August 28, stacked with The Vaccines, The Lathums, The Guest List and Girl In The Year Above, with more names still to come, according to NME.
General sale opens at 10am on Friday, November 6. Ludlow locals with SY7, SY8, HR6, DY14 and WR15 postcodes get a head start with a residents’ presale from 10am on Wednesday, November 4.
The run lands a year after God Bless The Band, the August best-of that bundled two decades of terrace-ready singalongs with two new tracks, “The Luckiest Man Alive” and “Plus One Forever.”
Pairing Liam Fray’s crew with The Coral is a lineup built for warm beer, bucket hats and every word shouted back. Set the alarm for Friday.
