The group split in 2021 but announced their comeback last year, revealing they would be headlining the 2024 Reading and Leeds Festival. Since then, the four-piece have released tickets for a series of UK gigs, as well as releasing their latest single, Showtime.

Though tickets for the Liverpool gig were released earlier this year, the opening acts remained a secret until yesterday (July 9). Two rocks act will perform before Catfish - and one of them is from Liverpool.
