Manchester band The Falls have risen quickly, building a reputation for sharp songwriting and high-energy guitar pop inspired by The Courteeners, The Kooks and Jake Bugg. After selling out their hometown headline show at The Deaf Institute, the band took their sound on the road, playing key venues across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield and London. National radio support followed on John Kennedy’s show on Radio X, helping propel their debut EP Viva La Falls past 100,000 streams in under six months. That momentum continues into 2026, when The Falls return home to headline Manchester’s iconic O2 Academyfor another sold-out show, alongside the release of their second EP in partnership with development label Revo Pro.
