Laetitia Sadier / Francis Lung

Lætitia Sadier (Stereolab) returns for her first Manchester solo performance since the release of Rooting for Love (Drag City, 2024). Her fifth solo album and most structurally expansive to date, it blends minimalist compositions with jazz chords and layered vocals. The record was universally praised for its thematic depth, exploring love as a force for personal and societal healing.

Francis Lung (WU LYF) performs selections from his songwriting catalogue, honing a unique style that balances authentic passion with a restrained formality, to strip pop music down to its emotional core.

Both artists have reignited respective legacy projects of late with Stereolab last month detonating their first studio album in 15 years, Instant Holograms on Metal Film. WU LYF also reunited this year, marking their return with the single 'A New Life Is Coming' and a string of sold-out live shows.
