Amyl And The Sniffers have announced a Manchester show for next month

Amyl And The Sniffers have just announced a Manchester show for next month.

Just three days before the Aussie rock’n’roll faves headline London’s Alexandra Palace, the band will head up north to Manchester to play the O2 Victoria Warehouse on October 22. They’ll be joined by Floodlights and The Menstrual Cramps, as well as bringing both acts to the capital on October 25, and Amyl have also revealed that Manchester and London “will be the last two headline shows of the year”.

In our recent review of Amyl’s set at Reading Festival, we said that “three days of sleep deprivation, sunburn and excess are no match for the mood-enhancing qualities of the Sniffers live experience. A joyous surge of energy jolts through the crowd, multiple mosh-pits kicking up huge clouds of dust as refreshing blasts of unreconstructed rock anthems old (Security, Guided By Angels) and new (Chewing Gum, U Should Not Be Doing That) make for one of the performances of the weekend.

“Amy Taylor, meanwhile, is the absolute real deal, flexing her muscles both literally and metaphorically and pausing only to holler, “Fuck JK Rowling!” and “Fuck Trump!” And, in a divided world, at least everyone can agree on one thing: Amyl And The Sniffers should appear much higher on those Reading & Leeds line-up posters in the future…”
