Better Joy

Better Joy, an emerging force from Manchester, is rapidly making waves across the UK and Irish live music scene. With a flair for indie-infused songwriting and a dynamic stage presence, the group’s ascent is further highlighted by their position as headliner at venues such as DUST in Brighton in February 2026, and on their own UK & Ireland tour with stops at iconic spaces including King Tut's in Glasgow, Gorilla in Manchester, Oslo in London, and Whelan's in Dublin. Their live music sets have been met with anticipation, offering audiences a taste of their evolving sound rooted in the energy of Manchester’s vibrant music culture.

Recent gigs demonstrate Better Joy’s versatility and credibility within the wider concert landscape. Notably, they have supported ARKAYLA at THE LOWER THIRD in London for BBC Introducing Live in October 2025, and appeared as part of The Gathering Sounds festival in Stockton-on-Tees alongside Somebody’s Child. Their inclusion on festival bills such as Golden Touch at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth, supporting headliner The Clause, underlines their growing reputation among live music enthusiasts and peers alike.

Better Joy’s discography continues to expand with releases like the EP "heading into blue" and a series of singles throughout 2025, culminating in their anticipated EP "at dusk" set for release in October 2025.
