Arkayla

Band from Manchester

rock

Arkayla, the Manchester-based rock group, has been steadily cultivating a reputation for compelling live music and a distinctive sound within the UK's vibrant scene. Their recent releases showcase a band unafraid to evolve; from the atmospheric "Ella Malone" EP and singles like "Rita" and "Lost In A Valentine" to the anticipated "Don't Look for Answers" EP, due October 2025, Arkayla demonstrates a flair for both songwriting and sonic ambition.

On stage, Arkayla's presence has been felt across renowned venues and festivals alike. They recently headlined at Cluny 2 in Newcastle upon Tyne and The Camden Assembly in London, affirming their status within the indie and alternative rock landscape. Their live shows have seen them share bills with an impressive roster; at Neighbourhood Weekender in Warrington and Victoria Park, they performed as a support act for luminaries like Richard Ashcroft and Kaiser Chiefs, and at The Bodega in Nottingham, they supported Rossettis. Additionally, Arkayla appeared at Live at Leeds in the City, contributing to an eclectic citywide lineup, and took the spotlight at BBC Introducing... Live at The Lower Third, London.

Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027, Arkayla continues to expand their reach, supporting Two Door Cinema Club and Circa Waves at The O2 in London and AO Arena in Manchester. Their forthcoming slot at Victorious Festival in Portsmouth positions them alongside musical icons such as Faithless and Scissor Sisters. For fans eager to experience Arkayla’s next chapter, following the band and keeping an eye on gig listings is highly recommended.
