PLEASE NOTE: Doors open at 6.30pm, with Cowboy Junkies’ performance beginning at 7.30pm. This is an unreserved seated show.

We’re excited to host the Manchester leg of the Cowboy Junkies – Celebrating 40 Years and Beyond tour!

An evening with Cowboy Junkies promises a career-spanning show, including songs from their recent album, Such Ferocious Beauty, which was released in 2023, to universal critical acclaim.

In 1988, Cowboy Junkies proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise — and it was compelling. Since its release, they have enjoyed an enduring career in which they have stayed their course, maintaining a low-impact excavation of melody and evocative language delivered sotto voce in singer Margo Timmins’ feathery alto.

Formed in Toronto in 1985, Margo was joined by siblings Michael Timmins on guitar, Peter Timmins on drums, and Michael’s lifelong friend Alan Anton on bass to begin a journey that has evolved over 29 albums. There’s an appreciation of each other that keeps them constantly working. ‘It’s that intimacy and understanding of what each one of us brings to the table,’ says Michael.

‘Taking their influences from classic blues and folk but also the punk of their youth, the band roamed across a wide musical terrain, overlaying their songs with a hushed intricacy. This was beautiful’ – The Telegraph

‘As this show demonstrated beyond any doubt, whether their own or their version of songs by others, Cowboy Junkies are an incredibly diverse band. Vocally, musically, together and individually theirs was a performance of total absorption’ – Americana UK

‘Cowboy Junkies remain at the top of their craft as they continue to define new territories for their unique sound to explore’ – Lonesome Highway

This show – a co-promotion with Edge Street Events – will be fully seated. This show is for ages 14+.
