The Lovely Eggs / Manchester Academy 2 / Thu 30 Oct

For the last 20 years, for The Lovely Eggs being in a band is a way of life. It’s about art. It’s about creativity and expression. It’s about following your own path and doing things your own way.

To celebrate two decades of operating on their own terms – spewing out music, records, art and television shows – the cult band will mark their 20th anniversary with a very special show at Academy 2 in Manchester.

‘You’ve got to hand it to The Lovely Eggs over 20 years and still making, distributing and promoting their music completely independently. In today’s climate, that’s no mean feat. It’s something to be fucking applauded – Rough Trade

‘Manchester is like a second home to us,’ says Holly. ‘It’s where we played some of our earliest gigs and the people who have come to our shows throughout the years have always brought the party.’

‘We’ve got great memories over the years from playing everywhere from Fuel and Gulliver’s to the New Century Hall and The Ritz. It’s always been great and we love coming back,’ says David. ‘We’ve had so many sold out shows in Manchester and there’s not many places we haven’t played but Academy 2 is one of them.’

Operating in a world when true authenticity is hard to find, The Lovely Eggs are one of the most exciting, innovative and genuine bands around. Welcome to their world. Welcome to Eggland.

Don’t miss the chance to celebrate 20 years with the Eggs plus very special guests at Academy 2 on Thursday 30 October.

This is a 14+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
