On Friday night, Beartooth took over the sold-out Victoria Warehouse, performing their greatest hits to an angsty, energetic audience.
The night kicked off with the hardcore punk icons that are Stray From The Path, with frontman Drew Dijorio providing all the energy to get the crowd amped up for the main act.
Up next were the clearly much-loved Motionless In White. Fans sung their heart out and beamed in joy when vocalist, Chris Motionless, individually handed real flowers into the crowd. This line-up meant for a concert that some could only dream of.
It wasn’t long before Beartooth took to the stage, fronted by rock legend Caleb Shomo, formerly known for being a part of Attack Attack!. Beartooth blend sounds of metal and punk together creating certified live anthems. They played hits like ‘In Between’, ‘Bad Listener’, and ‘Disease’, all of which were greeted by a wave of crowd surfers throughout.
Beartooth’s last appearance in Manchester was in February 2020, and it did not go unnoticed – the atmosphere was intense! Circle pits, crowd surfing and anthemic sing-a-longs, the crowd were putting on a show of their own. Beartooth’s set quickly flew by and it wasn’t long before the encore, the crowd gave all the energy they had left for fan favourites ‘The Past Is Dead’ and ‘The Last Riff’. We hope to see Beartooth in Manchester again soon, and see them as certified arena headliners as the energy of their live show could easily be able to transpose into a bigger room. It won’t be long before they are selling out Manchester’s very own AO Arena.

With the downpours hardly taking a break, Saturday is the day for the indie-heads and brats, as two of the most anticipated acts of the weekend take the…
Featured image: Georgina Hurdsfield Despite the dreary weather forecast, it seems the explosive noise of the night before has blown away the expected torrential rain, as the sun fights through the clouds to shine over Leeds Festival on Friday. With the opening of the ‘other’ stages, the first double headliner, and a very special birthday,…
Featured image: Ruby Boland As the gates of Bramham Park finally opened for the 2026 edition, so too did the heavens, with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for the whole weekend, you’d be forgiven for thinking this year’s instalment of Leeds Festival was a write-off. Neither the punters nor the artists would let this dreary…

Outdoors, small groups strolled along Oxford Road, pausing before buildings steeped in literary history. This was the scene during the Manchester Writing School Summer Festival 2026, held…
