TesseracT at the O2 Ritz, Manchester.

By Anya Baxter and Jim Blunt.

Prog rock metal outfit TesseracT arrived at a sold out Manchester show to a crowd of adoring, ecstatic fans. We were there to capture the band in action.

Drawing in the audience with their enigmatic and striking production, the night saw multiple crowd surfers, and one of the most dedicated audiences we've seen so far in 2024, singing all the lyrics with conviction and heart. Celebrating their 2023 album release The War of Being, the Milton-Keynes based band, fronted by Dan Tompkins, led the crowd through technical and conceptual tunes of old and new.

The night continued as the crowd became more invested in the perfromance. The setlist ended with an explosive "Concealing Fate, Part 1: Acceptace", followed by "Concealing Fate, Part 2: Deception", drawing the show to an emotive close. TesseacT have seen new successes over the past couple of years, all solidified by this fantastically successful tour, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
