On 13 March 2026 Stiff Little Fingers bring their ferocious punk spirit to Manchester Academy for a night that promises raw energy and singalong anthems. The concert will see the veteran Belfast band tear through a set that bridges their incendiary late-1970s classics and more recent material, with fans likely treated to thunderous versions of songs such as "Alternative Ulster" and "Suspect Device" alongside deeper cuts and surprises. The Academy's walls will reverberate with spirited, crowd-driven choruses as the band’s urgent guitars and driving rhythms cut through the packed room, creating an atmosphere equal parts nostalgic and adrenaline-fueled. Longtime devotees and newcomers alike can expect tight musicianship and candid stage banter that honors the band's uncompromising political edge while celebrating the communal joy of live punk. For those planning to go, tickets are available through official outlets and local box offices, and arriving early will give you the best chance of securing a spot close to the stage for what promises to be one of Manchester's must-see concerts of the spring.
