Code with Kid Lib at Unit3, Manchester – 22 May 2026

If you're after a proper night of electronic music in Manchester, Code with Kid Lib is bringing the heat to Unit3 on Friday 22 May with a stellar lineup featuring The Untouchables, Response, and Artilect. This free 18+ event kicks off at 10pm and promises exactly the kind of underground club experience that's made Manchester's nightlife legendary – expect cutting-edge beats and a crowd who actually knows their stuff.

Unit3 sits in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Manchester's creative epicentre where independent venues and artists have completely transformed what was once a forgotten industrial area. The venue itself has become a fixture for serious electronic music fans, offering proper sound quality and that raw, authentic club atmosphere you won't find in the city centre chains. The surrounding streets are packed with bars, record shops, and late-night spots, making it the perfect neighbourhood to spend the entire evening.

Getting there's straightforward – Piccadilly Station is your nearest transport hub, or the tram stops nearby if you're coming from Stockport way. Turn up early to soak in the Northern Quarter vibe, and bring some cash since it's always handy for drinks. With free entry and this calibre of talent, expect it to get properly rammed, so arrive with mates and settle in for a quality night out.
