NATHANIEL Rateliff & The Night Sweats head to Manchester Academy tonight as a part of UK tour.

Influenced by vintage soul, R&B and gospel, the band’s live shows have gained them a growing reputation and their albums - released on the Stax label - have won them fans on both sides of the Atlantic.

Their self-titled debut was released in 2015 and they followed it up with Tearing at the Seams last year.

The Manchester date - their first since a sold out show at the Albert Hall last year - is one of just seven UK shows.
