Bad Actress + Vain Wild - Manchester

Manchester! For the first time ever, we're coming to rock with you!

Bad Actress is heart, soul, and rock ’n’ roll. Fuelled by childhood dreams and relentless drive, they’ve pushed through every setback to deliver high‑energy, feel‑good rock music that sticks with you, and a live show that makes you want to be part of it… and they’re just getting started.

Originally formed in 2018 in Forres, Highlands (Moray), the band has always stood for more than just great songs, they’re about the hustle, the journey, and making every show count. Early line‑ups came and went, challenges piled up, but quitting was never an option. With the current members locked in and the brother‑fronted core reformed, Bad Actress is stronger than ever.

Since seriously hitting the road in 2021, they’ve built up a growing catalogue of originals rooted in “good‑time” hard rock, with a bluesy swagger and classic rock influences. They’ve toured across the UK, played festivals such as WinterStorm, Belladrum, BonFest, Woodzstock, Wildfire, MacMoray and MonsterFest, HRH Sleaze & NWOCR, and supported acts like Sweet, Marco Mendoza, Geoff Tate, Hardline, Babylon AD and GUN.

Their mission? To live the dream. To write songs you’ll sing again and again. To put every ounce of passion into each performance. When people see Bad Actress live, they don’t just see a band, they feel part of something bigger. They leave excited, full of energy, ready to come back. Because for Bad Actress, this isn’t a hobby, this is what they were born to do.

Special guests: Vain Wild

VÄIN WILD formed in 2023 and since then have been lighting up stages across the UK with their signature rock n’ roll. Taking big inspiration from their 80s rock gods and combining it with modern technique and attitude- guitar based hard rock has never felt this fresh whilst being rooted in a style established 40 years ago. Their debut album released in March 2026 and quickly became a cult favourite in the modern Glam Metal scene.
