Mature lyricism and energetic performances, The Guest List have quickly made a name for themselves in the Manchester music scene and are now taking it nationwide, with a UK tour set for November 2025. Tickets for all dates go on sale at 9am on Friday 14 March, here.
From the start, The Guest List stood out with their blend of melodic guitar riffs and relatable lyrics, capturing the essence of a modern band while maintaining a fresh and authentic sound. In 2024, tracks London and Loose Tongue significantly boosted the band's presence in the live music scene. Both songs were produced by James Skelly, frontman of The Coral, at Liverpool's Kempston Street Studios. These tracks caught the attention of BBC Radio 6 Music's Chris Hawkins, who featured them as his Track of the Dawn selections on his morning show.
Beyond the studio, The Guest List has built an impressive presence on social media, amassing over 400,000 followers and nearly 8 million likes on TikTok. Their engaging online presence has helped them connect with fans worldwide, while their Spotify audience continues to grow, with tens of thousands of monthly listeners.
The band's rapid rise has seen them share stages with some of indie rock’s biggest names, including Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, Inhaler, Blossoms, and Seb Lowe. Most recently, they celebrated a major milestone by selling out their first-ever UK headline tour.
Summer 2025 will see The Guest List appear at some of the UK's biggest festivals, including NBHD Weekender, Kendal Calling, Truck Festival, Y-Not Festival, Victorious Festival, and more.
With a dedicated fan base and an ever-growing presence in the UK music scene, The Guest List are proving to be one of the most exciting new bands in the country.
The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Cai Alty, lead guitarist Tom Quigley, bassist Sid Wallace, drummer Angus Gilchrist, and rhythm guitarist Leio Hunter.
