The news that The Maccabees are reforming to headline London’s All Points East festival this summer inspired a wave of excitement amongst fans and media alike. Strong ticket sales and widespread news coverage proved testament to the love still felt for a band who said an emotional goodbye in 2017.

Now, The Maccabees’ resurgence continues with two shows at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse in August.

The Maccabees - comprising lead singer Orlando Weeks, guitarists (and brothers) Felix and Hugo White, bassist Rupert Jarvis, and drummer Sam Doyle - debuted in 2005 and constantly evolved over the course of four critically adored studio albums, which took them from the fan favourite debut ‘Colour It In’ to their most acclaimed work and number one record, ‘Marks To Prove It’.
