Formed in early 2021, The Guest List: Cai Alty (vocals/guitar), Tom Quigley (lead guitar),
Leio Hunter (rhythm guitar), Sid Wallace (bass) and Angus Gilchrist (drums), came together
as school friends and music students, initially bonding over a love of The Strokes. Posting
high-octane indie covers on TikTok, they quickly amassed over 400,000 followers and nearly
8 million likes, before carving out their own lane with original material. With early singles like
‘Canada’, ‘London’ and ‘Loose Tongue’ (produced by The Coral’s James Skelly) drawing
comparisons to Arctic Monkeys, Sam Fender and Radiohead, the band are rapidly becoming
one of the UK’s most essential young acts.
Their rise has been powered by both Cai’s emotive, socially-conscious writing and their
formidable live set. A huge festival run in 2025 saw them play Glastonbury, The Great
Escape, TRNSMT, Truck, Kendal Calling, Neighbourhood Weekender, Sound City, London
Calling and Y Not. Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale caught their Glastonbury set, and BBC Radio 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins has been an early champion.
While proud of their Manchester roots, the band are keen to break out of the city’s tribal
associations. “We have been brought up listening to Manchester bands, but we don’t want to be defined by that,” says Alty. “We want to be seen as a band from Manchester, not just a
Manchester band.”
After completing a rapturous UK headline tour last November that saw 6,000 tickets sold -
including three consecutive nights at London’s Camden Assembly - plus a huge
1,300-capacity hometown date at Manchester’s New Century Hall, the band return to the
road in April to visit even more of the UKm across 14 dates, further looking to cement their
reputation as one of Britain’s next breakthrough live acts.
‘Something Real' stands as both a warning and a declaration: truth still matters, and saying it
out loud has never felt more necessary. With over 5.2 million? Spotify streams, and a
dedicated fanbase cutting across tribes and demographics, The Guest List are making music
for now: bold, unflinching and built to connect, and with more new music with Bergen
producer Matias Tellez already in the pipeline, the band are heading into 2026 primed for a
breakout year.
Why do we have a restoration Levy?
Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building.
As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.
If you would like to be kept up to date on progress with how we are using this fund then please follow us on social media @stlukesglasgow, and sign up to our mailing list where we will send out quarterly updates on the improvements that your donations are helping us make.
