About

808 State will be back for a one-off Winter Homecoming show.

An event quickly becoming a more popular December tradition than the Manchester Christmas Markets, the legendary band will be taking over New Century Hall for their third annual residency in a row.

 

On Friday 11th December 2026, Graham Massey and co. will be presenting ‘Greatest Transmissions’, a specially curated set of greatest hits, career spanning big hitters, and all that bass. The gig comes in the wake of the band’s rapturously received ‘ex : el’ nationwide tour of 2025, which saw the band celebrating their seminal album with a raft of SOLD OUT shows.

With just a smattering of festival shows this Summer, plus a huge support show with Robyn at the Co-Op Live, 808 State’s December appearance at New Century is confirmed to be among the band’s only headline gigs this year. Speaking about the gig

Graham Massey of 808 State

says:

“808 fans are now an intergenerational community as the project enters its 38th year. Our annual hometown Christmas gig feels different to all the other audiences. It feels like a family.  808 fans know we are there to bang but also that we will be stepping into the unknown, just as we did when we first played New Century back in ’88”
