Funky. Post-punky. A double set of Mancunian tunes.
A Certain Ratio are heading on a unique tour, celebrating 45 years of the band’s incredible career.
It’s double the fun for ACR fans as the band will perform two sets on the night. The first one pays tribute to their early years from their Factory releases, including ‘All Night Party’, ‘Sextet’ and ‘Force’, through to when they joined A&M in the late ‘80s, with songs such as ‘Won’t Stop Loving You’.
Their next set explores their output from the early to mid- ‘90s, to their most recent releases. Expect ‘27 Forever’ along with tracks from ‘ACR Loco’, ‘1982’ and beyond to unreleased forthcoming material.
Don’t miss the ACR 45 tour, a chance to see this most singular of bands performing tracks spanning their 45-year career – all in chronological order.

A Certain Ratio
Since emerging from the hallowed grounds of the late 70s punk scene, A Certain Ratio have moved with gleeful disregard for boundaries of style and genre.
Their eye fixed on constant progression- an ethos that’s open-minded over all else, and that’s seen them take on everything from experimental electronica to vintage funk, filtered through their own Mancunian lens. From their first release, ‘All Night Party’ (1979, Factory Records) to the present day with their recent album, ‘1982’ (2023, Mute) and even the upcoming ‘2023 EP’ they defy expectation.
