About

The Wants appear at Factory 251, Manchester, on Saturday 21 November 2026 at 07:30. Tickets are from £16.90.

What to expect

The Wants are singer and guitarist Madison Velding-VanDam, drummer Jason Gates, singer and synth player Lydia Gammill, and bassist Heather Elle.

Their music blends danceable grooves, anxious energy, and emotional yet enigmatic lyrics, placing them between genres.

They use deceptively simple parts that interlock like techno percussion, with recordings that engage club sound-system clarity, vinyl warmth, and familiar pop forms.
