Following the release of new album The L-Shaped Man earlier this year, Californian punk rockers Ceremony will visit Manchester as part of their European tour. Formerly known as Violent World, the group changed their name to reflect the influence of one of Manchester’s most iconic music groups: Joy division. Since 2005, Ceremony have delivered fast, loud and aggressive music, but they’ve also refused to be labelled as simply hardcore or punk, producing tracks such as Exit Fears that reflect their stylish and eclectic sounds. On the night they’ll be supported by guests Bad Breeding and Chain of Flowers.

Wed 12 Aug, Sound Control, 1 New Wakefield Street, M1 5NP. Tel: 0161 236 0340, 7pm, £10, www.seetickets.com
