Manchester Events Guide
If you're after a proper night of classic rock tribute acts, Guns 2 Roses + Wrong Jovi + AC/DC Reborn at O2 Ritz Manchester on Saturday 25 July 2026 is exactly what you need. This is your chance to relive the glory days of the biggest rock anthems without breaking the bank on stadium prices, with three of the best tribute bands in the UK delivering note-perfect performances of the songs that defined generations.
O2 Ritz Manchester sits right in the heart of the city centre on Whitworth Street, making it one of Manchester's most iconic live music venues. The intimate setting gives you way more atmosphere than a massive arena – you'll actually feel the energy from the stage, and the venue's legendary acoustics make sure every guitar riff and vocal hits exactly as it should. It's the perfect sized room for this kind of event.
Getting there couldn't be easier with Deansgate-Castlefield tram station just a short walk away, and there's plenty of bars and restaurants nearby if you fancy grabbing food before or after. Arrive early to soak up the pre-gig buzz, grab a drink, and bag a decent spot near the stage. Dress down in your classic rock best – this crowd knows how to enjoy themselves.
