We’re delighted to welcome The Beths back to Manchester – this time, to Albert Hall!

The Beths — the New Zealand-based quartet of vocalist Elizabeth Stokes, guitarist Jonathan Pearce, bassist Benjamin Sinclair, and drummer Tristan Deck — announce signing to ANTI- and release the new single/video, Metal. Metal is the first taste of new music from the band since the release of 2023’s Expert In A Dying Field (Deluxe), the expanded version of their beloved 2022 album.

Expert In A Dying Field (Deluxe) expanded upon the brilliance of The Beths’ acclaimed 2022 album – ‘another collection of tunes that cements their status as one of the great guitar-pop bands of this present moment’ (Stereogum). The third studio album from The Beths, Expert In A Dying Field was released to a wealth of critical praise, and was named one of 2022’s best releases by the likes of Pitchfork, The Ringer, Stereogum and more. Surrounding its release, The Beths were profiled by Rolling Stone, made their U.S. television debut on CBS Saturday Morning, performed a NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert, played Coachella, Bonnaroo and Newport Folk Festival, and supported The National, Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service. The Beths are undeniably one of the most exciting indie rock bands to emerge in recent memory.

Tour support comes from Dateline. Dateline’s music oozes emotion by blending earnest harmonies that hark back to early 00’s indie pop, with the cool burn of UK guitar groups from the 90s. Dateline’s band has had a revolving roster of friends, including musicians from bands like The Beths, Hans Pucket, LIPS, Bub and more recently Revulva and French For Rabbits.

This show is a co-promotion with Communion One.
