Manchester rockers The Courteeners will take over Manchester's Heaton Park for a huge homecoming gig in June 2023 to mark 15 years since the release of their debut album St Jude. It will be the third time that the Middleton band have held court at Greater Manchester's biggest park for a landmark moment in their career.
The Heaton Park gig, on Friday 9th June 2023 will mark the release of their seminal album which has become a modern indie classic. It spawned some of the band's biggest anthems like Not Nineteen Forever, Cavorting and What Took You So Long?
Frontman Liam Fray had got fans into a frenzy at the start of the week teasing the big announcement by sharing a photo of the iconic St Jude album artwork. With it he shared the message: "15 next year... is that a reason to celebrate?"
