Seminal punk outfit Buzzcocks head to Manchester this autumn forty years after signing to United Artists Records and proving to be one of the most influential bands in the Manchester music scene, opening the floodgates for a heap of indie outfits from the city.

The Boltonian band make the short trip to The O2 Ritz on Thursday 19th October to rip through a stomping set of punk staples including 'Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've), 'Orgasm Addict', 'What Do I Get?' and plenty more, whilst a commemoration of the Buzzcocks career will see artwork and projections of ‘Fizzing at the Terminals’ and ‘Orgasm Addict Reframed’ displayed around the venue during the gig.

Supporting them are Manchester outfit PINS, a rising force in the modern punk scene, and delivered one of our favourite releases of 2017, their Bad Thing EP, which featured a hook up with none other than Iggy Pop.
