Social Bees

Altered Images bring their infectious new wave energy to Manchester on Tuesday 15 September 2026, and honestly, this is a gig you won't want to miss. The Scottish legends behind 80s classics like "Don't Talk to Me About Love" and "Happy Birthday" still know how to get a crowd moving, and with Gifthorse on support duty, you're getting a proper night of quality live music. It's the kind of intimate setting where you'll actually feel connected to the artists rather than watching from a football pitch away.

Band On The Wall sits bang in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter, one of the city's most vibrant creative hubs. This legendary venue has hosted everyone from Joy Division to modern indie acts, and it's got that perfect sweet spot of history and edginess that makes Manchester music venues special.

The doors alive 🎸🎶🤩❤️🐝

Doors tribute - please join us at the Manchester academy 2.

Meet in the students union bar downstairs before heading up to the gig together.

TICKETS

"To call The Doors Alive merely a tribute act would be a huge disservice to what is the closest thing possible to experiencing a Doors concert without the aid of a flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts. They are high priests who allow us to worship at the altar of The Doors by continuing the word and gospels of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore." - Pure Magazine, Ireland.

An Evening of Kate Bush - performed live by a full band, vocalists and string quartet in the ethereal surroundings of Manchester Cathedral.

Let Me In are back with a brand new show, exploring the evocative music of Kate Bush, on a UK Cathedral tour in late 2026.

After three years of sell out productions, including An Evening of Radiohead and An Evening of Pink Floyd , Let Me In Presents are proud to announce a brand new show, featuring a 10 piece band, accompanied by the ever-present Mike Nowland String Quartet .

The show will move through Kate Bush's music chronologically, starting with the groundbreaking debut album - The Kick Inside - and delving deep into classics such as Hounds of Love and Never For Ever, until we reach the maternal warmth of 2005's multi-award winning comeback record - Aerial, touching on everything in between.
Expect the classics - Running Up That Hill ( recently featured in Netflix's Stranger Things ), Cloudbusting, Wuthering Heights , but also some rarities and hidden gems, including The Ninth Wive suite, from Hounds of Love, in it's entirety
