When: 7pm on Friday 14 November 2025
Where: Band on the Wall, 26 Swan Street, Manchester M4 5JZ

We’re excited to be welcoming Willy Mason back – this time, to Band on the Wall.

Willy Mason is returning on tour to Europe in 2025. Since 2020 Willy has been touring with increasing regularity, steadily honing his live sound and playing.

His band includes Charlotte Anne Dole on drums (Cymbals Eat Guitars, Hammydown, Cult Objects, Empty Country) and Farley Glavin on bass (The Lemonheads, Killer Motorcycle). The trio have a tight and dynamic sound that allow them to easily move between all phases of Willy’s catalogue faithfully, with high energy and care. Willy has been steadily adding new songs to his shows. He is currently in the studio working on new recordings for an album.

Willy’s dark yet uplifting songs have endured and evolved for two decades. He is in yet another new phase, emboldened and galvanised by experience. This tour and accompanying album will be a culmination of his post pandemic work.

‘I want to provide people with places where they can emote and move freely, in safety,’ says Willy. ‘To feel connected with each other and experience the strength in that. Performance allows me to create and inhabit these places.

‘A lot of my new songs seem to be about love and perseverance. I’ve come to realise that songs can have the ability to conjure things, so I think this is a good thing.’

This is a 10+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Wednesday 26 February via Seetickets.com
