Amyl & The Sniffers have shared details of a new show in Manchester, which will be one of their “last two headline shows of the year”. Find out the details below.
The new show was announced by the Aussie punk band on Instagram this morning (September 1), and will take place at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on October 22.
It’ll be one of their last shows of 2025, and takes place just before the band head over to London on October 25 to play a massive gig at Alexandra Palace – where they will be joined by Floodlights and The Menstrual Cramps.
In the new announcement, the band confirmed that those artists will be joining them in Manchester as well, and that tickets will go on sale at 10am BST this Friday (September 5). Pre-sale options will commence from Wednesday (September 3) at 10am too.
You can visit here to sign up for the pre-sale access, and visit here to buy tickets when they go live.
The announcement from Amyl & The Sniffers comes just days after they took to the stage at the 2025 edition of Reading & Leeds, and used their raucous set on the main stage to share solidarity with Palestine, and call out Donald Trump and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
Just before they took to the stage for their debut appearance at the Reading festival, guitarist Declan Mehrtens and drummer Bryce Wilson spoke to NME about the band’s momentum and the huge response to their 2024 album ‘Cartoon Darkness’.
The members also opened up about the “pressure” to deliver the goods at their upcoming slot at Alexandra Palace, with Mehrtens saying: “When it’s the biggest one ever, we don’t really know what to do.”
“Earlier this year we did Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne to 9,000 people. That was the thing. ‘Do you wanna do anything special?’ I dunno. Get a big LED screen and we could play the darts,” he added. “None of us have been to a gig at Ally Pally before. We’ve played Jools Holland there, but we’ve only watched the darts there. We’re gonna hit a bullseye.”
Elsewhere in the interview, the band suggested that they would be taking time in 2026 to focus on writing new material, and shared that next February would mark 10 years since they formed.
As for their slot at Reading 2025, NME gave the performance a glowing four-star review and praised frontwoman Amy Taylor and co. for the intensity of their set.
“As Taylor flexes her muscles and her banter-filled, boisterous bandmates slap one another’s arses and lead chants of “OI! OI! OI! OI!”, this little pocket of joy feels weirdly like one of the few places on Earth that makes sense amid all the fuckery of the world,” it read.
“And this, pure unbridled punk pleasure, is exactly what the iconic Reading & Leeds main stage was built for – especially at this sweet pre-sunset slot.”
