Cody Johnson

Cody Johnson has built one of country music's most fiercely loyal fanbases on the back of raw, high-energy live shows and a sound that blends traditional country grit with genuine rodeo-life authenticity. The Texas-raised singer has become a byword for real country music, with MusicRow tipping him as a genre torchbearer well before his streaming numbers and RIAA certifications caught up with the hype.

A Powerhouse Live Show

Expect a set built on the strength of albums like Human The Double Album and Cody Johnson & The Rockin' CJB Live, plus newer material such as "The Painter". His story, told in the documentary Dear Rodeo, has helped cement a connection with fans that goes beyond the usual arena show, and his TV performances and awards recognition (CMT, CMA and iHeart honours among them) reflect a genuinely across-the-board following.

Support From Parker McCollum and Alyssa Bonagura

Parker McCollum and Alyssa Bonagura join the bill, giving the night a broader mix of contemporary country songwriting alongside Cody Johnson's arena-sized headline set.

Meet Other Country Fans

This is exactly the kind of show where a community angle helps. Whether you're heading in solo or want company for the night, it's worth finding people going to Cody Johnson in Manchester so you can swap notes on setlists, meet before doors open, or just have someone to sing along with.
