Faithless to Play Open-Air Show at Barton Aerodrome in Manchester

Faithless will perform a large-scale open-air show at Barton Aerodrome in Manchester on Friday 3 July 2026. The concert will form part of Barton Live, a new summer concert series launching at the historic aerodrome in Eccles, while 2026 marks Faithless' first series of live shows in eight years.

The show will see the electronic group present a full live set in an outdoor setting and feature material from across their three-decade career. The performance is expected to include tracks from Faithless’ extensive back catalogue, which includes songs such as Insomnia, God Is A DJ and Salva Mea.

For the event, Barton Aerodrome will host a purpose-built outdoor concert setup incorporating staging, sound and lighting designed for large-scale live performances. The show comes as Faithless mark 30 years since forming in the mid-1990s. Over their career, the group have released six UK Top 5 albums, achieved three UK Number One records and sold more than 20 million records worldwide.

Currently fronted by founding members Sister Bliss and Rollo, Faithless continue to perform live following the release of their most recent album, Champion Sound.

The Manchester date is part of Barton Live, a four-day open-air concert series debuting in summer 2026. The programme will also feature performances from David Gray, Craig David Presents, and Electric Heart festival, with acts including The Fratellis, Scouting For Girls, The Feeling, The Hoosiers, Toploader and Dodgy.

Barton Aerodrome’s open, grassed site, early evening finishes, on-site parking and transport links are intended to make the venue accessible for a wide audience.
