About This Event

Sounds of the 60s Live brings the magic of that unforgettable decade straight to Manchester with legendary BBC Radio 2 presenter Tony Blackburn MBE hosting the evening. This is your chance to relive the hits, the stories, and the atmosphere that defined a generation, all delivered by someone who was actually there broadcasting it all. If you're a 60s music fan or fancy a nostalgic night out with brilliant live performances, this is an unmissable Tuesday evening on 9 June 2026.

The Bridgewater Hall is Manchester's premier concert venue, perfectly positioned in the city centre near Deansgate with its stunning architecture and world-class acoustics. Located right on the riverbanks, it's an intimate yet impressive setting that's hosted everyone from orchestras to rock acts, making it an ideal spot for this special evening of music and memories.

Kick off at 19:30 and arrive early to soak up the pre-show atmosphere and grab a drink from the bar. The venue is easily accessible by tram or train, with plenty of nearby parking if you're driving in. Dress smart-casual, settle into a comfortable seat, and prepare for two hours of pure 60s nostalgia hosted by a true radio icon.
