About This Event

Homobloc is bringing COBRAH and special guests to Manchester for a free nightlife event that's not to be missed on Thursday 28 May 2026. This is a brilliant opportunity to experience live electronic music and cutting-edge club culture without breaking the bank, with doors opening at 7pm at one of the city's most iconic venues. Whether you're into underground electronic sounds or just fancy a night out with a welcoming crowd, this gig offers genuine Manchester nightlife at its best.

The O2 Ritz on Oxford Road is a legendary spot in the heart of Manchester's entertainment district, known for hosting everything from intimate gigs to major club nights. It's got that perfect balance of being easily accessible while maintaining serious credibility in the music scene – the kind of venue where you know you'll experience quality programming and a proper atmosphere.

Getting there couldn't be easier with Piccadilly Station and multiple bus routes serving Oxford Road directly. The event is all-ages friendly with an 8+ restriction, so it's genuinely inclusive. Arrive early to soak up the pre-show energy, grab a drink, and chat with other music lovers – the Ritz crowd is always welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about supporting Manchester's underground music culture.
