Christopher Cross brings his timeless catalogue of soft rock classics to Manchester on Monday 18 May 2026, delivering an evening of smooth harmonies and the hits that defined the late 70s and 80s. If you grew up singing along to "Sailing" and "Arthur's Theme," this is your chance to hear them live from the man himself—a genuine icon of the era who's still performing with passion and polish.
The Bridgewater Hall is one of Manchester's finest concert venues, located right in the city centre with world-class acoustics that'll do justice to Cross's intricate vocal arrangements. It's a sophisticated setting that attracts everyone from classical music fans to rock and pop lovers, making it the perfect spot for this kind of intimate yet grand performance.
The 19:00 start time gives you a chance to grab an early dinner in the surrounding Deansgate or Spinningfields areas before heading into the hall. Expect a well-paced setlist mixing his biggest moments with deeper album cuts, and arrive early to soak in the atmosphere—this is a show for devoted fans and curious newcomers alike. Tickets tend to move quickly for established acts at Bridgewater, so don't sleep on booking yours.
