Counterparts bring their melodic hardcore and melodic metalcore attack to O2 Ritz Manchester on 17 February 2026, opening a short UK run built around their recent era of releases. The Canadians top a three-band bill, with German Linkin Park tribute One Step Closer delivering a full-scale nu-metal set ahead of them. Swarms add a different angle, drawing on dubstep and ambient textures that push the sound of the night into darker electronic territory. As the first stop before O2 Forum Kentish Town, this Manchester gig sets the tone for Counterparts’ February 2026 shows.
