There’s no better way to close out the year than with a blowout party filled with incredible live music and an electric atmosphere. Last Thursday at O2 Ritz in Manchester, the audience danced, jumped, and cheered along to a lineup of some of the best up-and-coming indie bands.
A Night to Remember at O2 Ritz
The night featured an impressive list of performers, including Larkins, Glass Caves, Plastic House, ist ist, Corella, The Bright Black, Puppet Theory, Cavana, and Foxglove. Whether on the main stage or the basement room, each band delivered outstanding performances that had the crowd on their feet.
Standout Performances
Some bands, however, took the energy to the next level. The boys from Plastic House ignited the crowd with their high-energy set, keeping the audience bouncing throughout their 30-minute performance.
Glass Caves from Stockport followed shortly before nine, turning up the intensity even more. Their indie rhythms ranged from upbeat to ballad-like, with the lead singer’s falsettos shining through on tracks like ‘Alive’ and ‘Swim’. The crowd sang along, amplifying the emotional connection to the band’s music.
The highlight of the night came from Larkins, who stole the show with their infectious energy. They had the audience moving non-stop and made a special announcement about their upcoming headline gig at Manchester Academy 2 in April. Even the guys from Cavana joined the audience in the crowd, adding to the night’s lively spirit.
2018 Tour Dates to Watch
Several of these bands are set to take 2018 by storm. Glass Caves will be performing at Night and Day Café in April, and Plastic House is slated for Academy 3 on March 17th. With chart-topping potential and dynamic stage presence, these bands are definitely ones to watch in the coming year.
