THIS WILL DESTROY YOU at Manchester Gorilla
If you're after an evening of atmospheric, guitar-driven post-rock that'll genuinely move you, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU are bringing their epic soundscapes to Manchester Gorilla on Thursday 18 June 2026. The American instrumental outfit has built a devoted following with their sweeping, emotionally charged compositions, and this intimate show at one of the city's best-loved venues promises to be something truly special. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering them, this is a gig worth marking in your calendar.
Manchester Gorilla sits right in the heart of Deansgate and has become synonymous with brilliant mid-sized live music in the city. The venue's got a perfect capacity – not too massive, not too small – which means you'll get genuine connection with the stage and other music lovers without sacrificing atmosphere. It's exactly the kind of intimate setting where THIS WILL DESTROY YOU's expansive, instrumental approach really hits home.
The doors open at 19:00, so arrive early to soak in the pre-gig buzz and grab a drink from the bar. Deansgate's well served by transport, and there's plenty of independent bars and restaurants nearby if you fancy making an evening of it. Expect to be transported by some of the most moving instrumental rock you'll hear all year.
