After headlining Reading and Leeds for the second time and selling out massive shows across the UK this summer, multi-Platinum-selling, arena filling and festival headlining giants Catfish and the Bottlemen today announce a third major UK live show for summer 2025 at Manchester’s Heaton Park, 13th June.
The news confirms Catfish and the Bottlemen’s place amongst the UK’s elite live bands, and meets huge demand surrounding the announcement of their first ever headline stadium concerts at Cardiff Principality Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - two landmark performances set for the 1st and 3rd August 2025.
The 2025 shows mark the next step in Catfish and the Bottlemen’s meteoric rise, following their epic return to the stage this summer, which has seen them sell out Liverpool’s 32,000 capacity Sefton Park and two nights at Cardiff Castle, before making their second headline Reading and Leeds Festival performance.
A special fan presale for the Heaton Park show will begin at 10am BST on Wednesday 2nd October. Follow Catfish and the Bottlemen on Instagram for more information. Tickets are on general sale below from Friday, 4th October at 10am BST.
Catfish and the Bottlemen’s stadium-filling sonic outlook has cemented their place amongst Britain's most successful bands of the 21st Century. Signing to Island Records in 2014 after years of relentless touring, their debut LP The Balcony surged into the UK Top 10 and helped them scoop British Breakthrough Act at the BRITs before scoring their landmark #1 album with The Ride. Since then they’ve amassed over one billion streams, two million album sales and are closing in on 10 million single sales. On stage Van McCann possesses unique magnetic energy, and is considered one of modern rock’s great live frontmen and songwriters, having played to over 2 million people.
The band recently celebrated the 10 year anniversary of The Balcony with a limited edition CD, Cassette and LP release featuring inverted white artwork and six bonus tracks. A new limited edition 7” featured ‘Hourglass’ (Ewan McGregor version) and rare song ‘ASA’, available again for the first time since the original pressing 10 years ago.
10 years on from the release of their classic debut, with the anthemic new single ‘Showtime’ out now, an epic live summer, and groundbreaking stadium shows on the horizon, Van McCann is back where he’s meant to be: headlining festivals, working on new music, and beginning a bold new era for Catfish and the Bottlemen.
