After the tragic events at Manchester Arena, Radiohead’s return to Manchester has been moved to Old Trafford Cricket Ground. It will be the band’s first appearance in the city since 2012. Expect tracks from their brilliant Mercury Prize nominated album, A Moon Shaped Pool, to dominate a career-spanning set list. This week saw a 20th anniversary re-release of OK Computer, so there might just be a few rarities thrown in for good measure.

Extra tickets have been released and are on-sale now.
