Music & Gigs in Manchester

From Co-op Live to the back room at the Castle.

Manchester might be the best gig city in the UK. We've got Co-op Live (the country's biggest indoor arena), AO Arena, Albert Hall (a converted Methodist chapel that's one of the most atmospheric venues anywhere), Band on the Wall, the Ritz, the Apollo, the Bridgewater Hall, Gorilla, YES, the Deaf Institute, the Castle Hotel, and dozens of smaller spots in the Northern Quarter.
