Osaka pop-punk trio Shonen Knife brings its 2027 UK tour to Night & Day Café on Wednesday 26 May. Formed in 1981 by sisters Naoko and Atsuko, the band built its sound around Ramones-inspired punk and bright pop melodies, with a catalogue stretching across more than four decades.
The ticket listing credits Shonen Knife as an influence on Sonic Youth and Nirvana, while describing a back catalogue that moves between thrashier rock and pop melodies. This is a standalone band show, rather than an anime convention programme.
Night & Day bills the Manchester show with guests, whose names are still to be announced. The venue and band list 19:30; a separate doors time, running order and finish time have not been confirmed.
