Bob Vylan brings their fierce energy and unapologetic punk spirit to Manchester Academy on their Humble As The Sun tour, they are a force to be reckoned with, blending punk, grime, and metal. From the first song, it’s clear that Bob Vylan’s live show are as much about attitude as it is about music. The mix of gritty lyrics and powerful beats have the crowd moshing and shouting along, proving that their unique sound resonates across genres and generations.
Lead vocalist Bobby Vylan launches himself into the crowd only three songs in, swimming across the audience with a comfortable grace. Bobby is renowned for spending half the set in the crowd at his shows, truly like a fish to water, he trusts his fans with his safety, and they look after him every time. Bobbie Vylan supports Bobby from his drum kit and maintains the shows pace.
Delighting the crowd with a one of performance of ‘Bait the Bear’ as picked by a lucky fan in the crowd, Bobby and Bobbie keep everyone on their toes. Bobby says they ‘don’t want to preach to the converted’ but reinforces the duo’s strong political stances, asking for a ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Fuck the BBC.’ Bob Vylan show a relentless pursuit of truth, justice, and anger in their music. It's cathartic, political, and empowering.
