PHOTOS: The Hu – O2 Apollo, Manchester – 10/10/2026

There’s a feeling of importance that surrounds The Hu wherever they go. Regardless of what you think about them, they’ve unquestionably transcended boundaries in metal, stylistic and geographic. To call them the most internationally known act from Mongolia is a given; the fact they’ve done so while abiding to their own cultural and heritage feels a lot more significant. It’s likely why they’ve gotten such a platform for big, worldwide tours like this—they’ve got a completely unique sound to western ears and have been embraced for it. That’s certainly how it feels tonight in Manchester, with Skáld’s frigid Pagan-folk in tow. Maryleen headed over to the O2 Apollo to check it out.
