Events in Manchester

Manchester's events scene covers every genre and format, from intimate basement sets in the Northern Quarter to large-scale productions at Depot Mayfield. The Warehouse Project season from September to January is the headline draw, with lineups spanning techno, house, trance, drum and bass, jungle, and hip-hop. Year-round, the city's clubs and venues run regular programmes of electronic, indie, and live music events.

Midweek events in Manchester are busier than most cities' weekends, driven by a large student population and a high density of active promoters. Summer brings Parklife and a run of outdoor events, while the indoor scene remains active year-round. Live music in Manchester is equally strong, with gigs running most nights across multiple venues.
