Ripcord Records proudly present:
Ripcord Records Tour II - Manchester, featuring:


Civil Service - The Manchester post-rock band have dabbled with their Darker side, and this show promises to showcase their heavier, Post-metal adjacent leanings.
Fresh from shows in 2025 with the likes of Every Hell, Svalbard, The Grey, Mountainscape, Hidden Mothers & a host of other rising stars of the Post-Metal and post-hardcore UK scenes.
The promise of new music before the year is out, travelling in a darker direction; Civil Service aim to close their account for 2025 in style with this headline performance.


Helve - Yorkshire heavy-heavyweights Helve head back to Manchester, a familiar stomping ground for the hard hitting act, enjoying a resurgence since releasing their latest LP To Be Forgotten, on Ripcord Records in 2023. Having graced stages with the likes of Mountainscape, The Grey & performed at the legendary 229 in London at January's growing Celestial Diadem Weekender; the standout Doom-laden act brought proceedings to a different pace.


Solars: Heavy Birmingham based post-rock / post-metal sons Solars rolled into Manchester as part of the Ripcord Records Tour #1 in February and delivered a powerful and heavy set which demanded to return to the 33 Oldham Street stage as soon as possible. Following this up with performances at Celestial Diadem Weekender and a series of high profile support slots in hometown Birmingham has seen A Fading Future become their most listened to and well received record to date - and delivers on the promise of their formative releases.


Vnder A Crumbling Moon - Bringing the Southern heavy doom / Post-metal crossover, Vnder A Crvmbling Moon have been a surprise package - quickly progressing from 2023s 'I: Oblivion', to  'II: Aging & Formless'. Perhaps their rapid rise shouldn't surprise anyone however, given the pedigree the band bring with a wealth of experience garnered through band members also performing in stellar UK heavy acts such as Conjurer & Garganjua amongst others. Manchester is yet to experience the brutal and brilliant direction of Aging & Formless and this show promises to be a celebration of all things Vnder A Crvmbling Moon.
