Faithless announce open-air show at Manchester aerodrome
Faithless are hosting an open-air concert in Manchester this summer.
The English dance band will take over the historic Barton Aerodrome for a live evening performance on 3rd July as part of the open-air venue’s new four-day summer concert series. The advertised special guests will be revealed at a later date.
It’ll join Faithless’s two other already announced live gigs for summer 2026 as part of Heritage Live Festivals: Englefield Estate near Reading on 23rd July and Audley End Estate in Saffron Walden on 9th August.
Faithless founding member and vocalist Maxi Jazz passed away in December 2022 at age 65. Producers Sister Bliss and Rollo released a tribute single, ‘I’m Not Alone (Rest Well Maxwell)‘, in August 2024, and Maxi Jazz’s final vocal recording is featured on the 2025 track ‘Forever Free‘.
This past November, Faithless celebrated the 30th anniversary of their iconic track ‘Insomnia’ with a digital EP of new mixes and picture disc pressing, plus a new remix by Disclosure.
Faithless Barton Aerodrome tickets go on sale Friday, 6th February with waitlist registration. Find more event information here.
