The details, in daylight
Sounds of the City came to Castlefield Bowl in Manchester on 11 July 2026, with The Streets in support. This show has already taken place — see Sounds of the City's page on KeenToGo for their upcoming dates.
An outdoor events pavilion set in Manchester's Castlefield conservation area, reinvigorated in 1993 to designs led by DEGW Architects, with a striking semi-cantilever tensile roof by Rudi Enos that folds lighting and sound into its framework. It opened with Ian Brown headlining New Year's Eve 1999 and has since hosted New Order, Bloc Party, Noel Gallagher and The Courteeners alongside food festivals.
