Legendary electronic pioneers Faithless will headline a major open-air show at Barton Aerodrome, Manchester, on Friday 3 July 2026, as part of the newly launched Barton Live summer concert series.

The show will see Faithless deliver a full-scale live performance in a rare outdoor setting, bringing their unmistakable blend of euphoric electronic energy, live instrumentation and emotionally charged songwriting to one of the North West’s most distinctive venues. Fans can expect a powerful, era-spanning set celebrating a catalogue that has defined dance music culture for over three decades, featuring timeless anthems including Insomnia, God Is A DJ and Salva Mea.

The show arrives during a milestone period for Faithless, who are celebrating 30 years at the forefront of electronic music, boasting multiple UK Top 10 singles, six Top 5 albums, three UK Number One records and global sales exceeding 20 million.

Formed in the mid-1990s and following the release of their critically acclaimed album Champion Sound, Faithless remain one of the most influential and enduring acts in electronic music. Now led by founding members Sister Bliss and Rollo, the group continue to thrive as a formidable live force, driven by the same spirit of unity and connection that has always defined their sound.

The Manchester date forms part of Barton Live, a brand-new four-day open-air concert series launching this summer at Barton Aerodrome, Eccles. Designed as a curated programme of major outdoor shows, the series establishes the historic aerodrome as a new destination for large-scale live music in the North West, with artists including David Gray, Craig David presents, and Electric Heart Festival featuring The Fratellis, Scouting For Girls, The Feeling, The Hoosiers, Toploader and Dodgy.
