Back with a big bang – HELLO COSMOS – will be beginning 2024 with an unmissable show at a stunning new music venue in Stockport.
Making their first live performance back a hometown exclusive at St Mary’s Church, the collective will be promising a guest-studded and immersive AV spectacle in the city’s most talked-about new live-music hotspot; the restored Parish church in the vibrant heart of the Marketplace. Part of the buzzy wave of creativity sweeping across the city dubbed “the new Berlin”, Hello Cosmos will be paving the way for a series of live experiences due to be hosted at the venue, beginning with this initial live showcase night.
With the electroclash / psych-rock unit already confirmed to headline the first event on 23 February, today the band are further announcing that supporting slots on the night will come from fellow Stockport-scene risers: BIG SOCIETY and FONDABATH.
Founded by RNCM alumni Thomas Fripp (guitars), Harry Gumery (bass) and Will Jaquet (vocals), Big Society have made short work of finding fans in high places. With their idiosyncratic indie-pop drawing comparisons to artists ranging from MGMT to War on Drugs, the trio have picked up radio support from Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio X, and XS Manchester while garnering praise from tastemaker titles like DIY and Alfitude – clocking up north of 1 million streams in the process. Having supported Neil Young and Bob Dylan at a huge outdoor show in Hyde Park, Big Society have all the ammo for a rapturous support slot and will be packing a must-see set in Stockport this February.
Plus, Greater Manchester hidden gems Fondabath will be bringing the heavy guitar tones of their 2023 self-titled EP to proceedings earlier in the evening. Made up of lead singer Grace Parker, bassist Ellie Morgan, drummer Joel McCulloch, plus dual guitarists Sam Hampton and Nic Malabuyoc, the quintet’s critical grunge-geared indie-rock slabs like “Craving” and “Apart From You” have already shaken the foundations of major venues like Manchester Academy and promise to leave a lasting impression at what will be their first UK show this year.
