Mogwai

Friday, February 27, 2026 - O2 Apollo, Manchester

• Mogwai
• Forest Swords

Mogwai return to O2 Apollo in Manchester on 27 February 2026, bringing their instrumental, electronic and experimental rock sound to a Brudenell-promoted show. The Scottish band’s set draws on the expansive textures heard across recent releases such as "The Bad Fire" and "The Bombing of Pan Am 103", balancing cinematic dynamics with dense electronics. Forest Swords opens the bill, extending the night’s exploratory feel with ambient sound design, deconstructed club rhythms and stark experimental electronics. Together they create a focused pairing that leans into atmosphere, volume and detail, using O2 Apollo’s scale to amplify their layered, largely wordless worlds.
