Butt & Scholes: No Nonsense at O2 Apollo Manchester

Get ready for an evening of pure football banter when Butt & Scholes: No Nonsense lands at the O2 Apollo on Friday 29 May 2026. This isn't your typical sports chat show – it's two Manchester United legends, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes, delivering straight-talking commentary on the beautiful game without the usual PR fluff. If you're a proper football fan who appreciates no-filter opinions from players who've lived it at the highest level, this is unmissable entertainment.

The O2 Apollo Manchester is an absolute institution on Stockport Street in the heart of the city centre, and it's the perfect intimate setting for this kind of live sports experience. With its legendary heritage hosting everything from concerts to comedy, the Apollo gives you that special Manchester buzz that bigger venues just can't match.

Getting there's dead easy – the venue's right on the tram line and there's plenty of parking nearby if you're driving. Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere with fellow United fans in the surrounding bars and restaurants. Expect some brilliant storytelling, heated debate about modern football, and the kind of candid takes you won't hear anywhere else – bring your own opinions because Scholes certainly won't hold back on his.
