Blackpool band Boston Manor to make their debut hometown gig with 'dream set' at the Tower

Boston Manor, which earlier this year graced the cover of rock and metal magazine Kerrang, following the release of its critcally acclaimed third album Glue, is to perform a closed set from the famous venue.

The gig will be the band’s first hometown headline show and will be streamed virtually to its large following of fans worldwide.

Lead vocalist of the punk quintet, Henry Cox, said they felt honoured to finally be able to deliver a set and show off their hometown.

He said: “Since Boston Manor formed in 2013 we have never played a hometown show.

“One of the main issues surrounding having a show in Blackpool, was being a little off the beaten track.

"We didn’t know how many of our fans would be able to make it to a show there.

“When lockdown happened and our headline tour got rescheduled twice, we decided the perfect way to do a livestream event would be to bring the world our first resort headline show, to play our new album live for the first time, and to show our fans where we come from and why Blackpool means so much to us.”

The band will perform on Thursday, October 15.

Henry added: “The landmark is a symbol of Blackpool, something we’ve been staring up at since we were kids, and is world famous.

“It’s pretty unbelievable that we’ve been allowed to play here in all honesty.

“We’ve spent the last few months working on this show and we hope everyone can join us – it’s something that won’t be repeated.”

Tickets for the virtual gig are on sale now at www.bostonmanorband.comThe performance will be broadcast online across the globe at three different times - 8pm BST, 9pm EDT and 8pm AEST
