Nearly three decades into their magnificent musical career, the Conor Oberst-fronted project, Bright Eyes, are returning to Manchester on the 16th of June, following the 2024 release of their visceral new album Five Dice, All Threes. A tight-knit group; multi-instrumentalists Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott join Orberst to complete the trio’s line-up.

With this latest LP, the band invited like-minded voices onto the record with them, with notable guest appearances from Cat Power (All Threes), The National’s Matt Berninger (The Time I Have Left), and Alex Orange Drink, the frontman of the New York punk band The So So Glos, who co-wrote several songs and shares a climactic verse in the surging Rainbow Overpass.
