The Courteeners turned their home city into one giant singalong. Manchester’s indie rock favourites delivered a monumental set at Heaton Park in 2019, commanding a massive hometown crowd at a venue that carries real meaning for local bands and fans. The performance ran from the opening chords of “Are You in Love With a Notion?” straight through to the closing euphoria of “What Took You So Long?”, with frontman Liam Fray pulling things back for a stripped-down acoustic stretch on “Hanging Off Your Cloud” and “Smiths Disco” before the full band charged into the encore.
