Joshua Bassett Manchester 2023: how to get tickets to Academy 2 show, presale details and UK tour dates

Joshua Bassett has confirmed his first-ever world tour that will venture through North America and Europe, including a date in Manchester. Now titled ‘The Complicated Tour’, the Disney musician will perform at the city’s Academy 2 venue.

The Manchester gig is scheduled to take place as one of the three UK dates to bookend Joshua Bassett’s tour. He will play at the city’s intimate music venue Academy 2 on May 6 in 2023.

The announcement follows the release of Joshua Bassett’s EP ‘Sad Songs In A Hotel Room.’ It was released on streaming platforms and hit store shelves in September 2022 and has received rave reviews.

The California-born singer and songwriter recently released a new single called ‘Different’ in October 2022. Raising eyebrows for its references to ex-girlfriend and now-popstar Olivia Rodrigo, who he starred alongside in Disney+ series HSMTMTS.

The pair broke up in December 2021 and it led to Olivia Rodrigo’s first studio album ‘Sour’ which broke streaming records and gained massive popularity. Joshua Bassett then got into a relationship with Girl Meets World star Sabrina Carpenter but have since split.
