Manchester Central - 11th December

[Sean]

The Courteeners will play a very special live gig on Friday 11th December at Manchester Central (formerly G Mex). This exclusive one off date will be the largest the band have ever played and promises to be a truly amazing evening with support from very special guests Buzzcocks and The Whip.

Liam: "Trying to keep this show a secret since we confirmed a month ago, has been tough to say the least. Headlining Manchester Central at Christmas time, with Buzzcocks and The Whip in support - how are you supposed to keep that quiet?
For me it's the beginning of the next Chapter in our story, just before our next record is released. It's almost a year since we played the Apollo gigs in Manchester, so we've been building up to this for a long time. Come December, we'll be ready to explode. I can't wait. Merry F***king Christmas!

sean get train to picaddilly and met from picadilly gardens to g-mex, or just walk from picadailly train stationm like a 20 minute walk

[Sean]

Sounds confusing, won't I get mugged or something though? Ah well tickets first, transport later I'd walk if i had too.

[cb]

somethings have to remain secret lads

[Deleted]

i'm there.

[neilm]

I was gonna head over from Dublin for a gig like this but isnt that venue massive??

Kinda put off by that, I dont really want to go to a gig in a half full arena.. someone reassure me?

[Sean]

Even if it is it will still be an amazing show. Can't get better than a homecoming gig like this

[mc18988]

already got my tickets

gmex isn't the best venue but I couldn't care less, it will still be boss!

[sirmavers]

Jesus I'm excited I'll probs train to piccadilly then taxi it because cba getting lost walking.

[Sean]

I might do the same Ant. I've only seen the gmex once and that was through the window of the Hilton so I'll probably get lost walking.
