Ratboys at YES Manchester

Ratboys bring their indie rock energy to YES Manchester on Friday 29 May 2026, kicking off at 7pm in the intimate Pink Room. This Chicago four-piece are known for their raw, catchy guitar-driven sound and genuine connection with their audience, making this a proper unmissable gig for anyone into contemporary indie music that actually means something.

YES Manchester's Pink Room is one of the city centre's best-kept secrets for mid-sized live music, tucked away with that proper Manchester edge and a genuine commitment to hosting quality acts. The venue's got brilliant acoustics and a real community feel – it's the kind of place where you can actually hear what's happening while still getting that immersive live experience that makes gigs worth leaving the house for.

Get there early to grab a decent spot and soak in the atmosphere; the Pink Room fills up quick for bands like Ratboys who've built a loyal following. The city centre location means you can easily head to one of the nearby bars beforehand, and there's decent transport links if you're travelling across Manchester. Expect an energetic crowd and a band that genuinely gives everything on stage – bring your mates and prepare for a proper Friday night.
