Music in Manchester at a glance

Our Manchester calendar has 2 listings under music: 1 with fixed dates and 1 whose next dates are not yet announced. Every listing links to its organiser, so check opening times and tickets there before you travel.

This is a short list so far. For more choice, see music across the UK (17 listings) or everything on in Manchester.

When they happen

The busiest months for music here are May and July, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our Manchester guide says about those seasons:

Spring (March to May)
A good time for the canals, parks and open-air terraces, before the summer crowds.
Summer (June to August)
The best weather for canalside drinks and walks in Castlefield and Salford Quays. Book popular restaurants ahead.
