“At the beginning, I think people needed someone [to be a mouthpiece] because it was all a bit dull,” frontman Liam Fray told NME about his reputation in the media. “I wouldn’t say I played up to it; I’d say I was like every other person in the country after they’ve had five pints. I’m not an arsehole or rude, I’m just honest. People think I’m this bolshy guy and it’s very difficult to not do that when I’m on stage, because I can’t imagine going out in front of 25,000 people and staring at my feet. But offstage, I don’t feel I’m like that. I genuinely feel like I’m more of a bedroom loner at times.”
The Courteeners’ full upcoming UK tour dates are below. Tickets to the November tour are on sale now, while tickets to the Manchester Old Trafford show are on sale from 9am on Friday 21 October.
