The rising indie rock quartet first burst onto the music scene in 2023, proving their worth with massive headline shows at Manchester’s Academy 3 and The Deaf Institute, and now they’re back for another round.

Band on the Wall is a legendary venue, having hosted the likes of Joy Division, The Fall and more. And with hype only building higher around Montello, it’s shaping up to be a night to remember.

It comes at the end of a scorching year for the band, having completed their first UK tour supporting Leeds band The Slates and packing out their set at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival, as well as having Truck Festival and various gigs nationally.

Having released two singles, both of which have received great national responses (Suit & Tie and The Universe Replied…), Montello are quickly defining themselves as a band to keep your eye on!

Tickets for their Band on the Wall headline are already selling fast and are available through Skiddle, and also through the bands Instagram bio (@montello.band).
