# Legends of Motown Live at The Forum | Romiley

If you fancy a night of pure soul and groove without spending a penny, Legends of Motown Live at The Forum on Friday 1 May 2026 is exactly what you need. This tribute show celebrates the timeless hits from Motown's golden era—think Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and The Supremes—performed by talented musicians who genuinely do justice to these classics. It's the perfect excuse to dust off your dancing shoes and relive those unforgettable melodies that defined generations.

The Forum Theatre in Romiley has built a solid reputation as one of Greater Manchester's best-loved entertainment venues, hosting everything from live music to comedy and theatre productions. Located just south of Manchester city centre, it's easily accessible and known for its welcoming atmosphere and quality programming that keeps locals coming back time and again. The intimate setting makes for a genuinely special night out compared to massive arena gigs.

Getting there's straightforward—The Forum sits in the heart of Romiley with good parking and public transport links, plus it's only a short tram ride from Manchester's busy centre. Doors open at 7pm, so arrive early to grab a decent spot and maybe enjoy a pre-show drink at the bar. Expect a full house of Motown fans, so this is one free night out you'll absolutely want to book in your calendar now.
