Fcukers headline a sold-out show at Manchester’s New Century Hall, in support of their long-awaited debut album, ‘ö’.
Opening the night are Sydney-based Sleepazoid, whose hazy, atmospheric sound offers a sharp contrast to the headliners’ explosive energy. Their set feels cinematic and dream-like, serving as both a striking opener and a moment of calm before the chaos unfolds.
Fcukers open the set with ‘Mothers’, and within seconds, lead vocalist Shanny Wise transforms the place into a full-on rave. She hurtles across the stage the entire show, hardly remaining still long enough for the crowd to focus on her before disappearing to the other side once again.
Before launching into a ferocious performance of ‘Homie Don’t Shake’, Jackson Walker Lewis addresses the crowd with a furious rallying cry: “Fuck our government, no more fucking billionaires, no more fucking wars – alright, run that shit.” The room erupts instantly, the track detonating into one of the night’s most memorable moments.
It is a performance built on unrelenting momentum, leaving Fcukers’ fans spilling out into the Manchester night searching for somewhere to keep the party going, cementing themselves as one of the most exciting acts on the electronic scene.
