Manchester Events Guide: Everywhere at Once: Knock Out Brass Band
If you're after a proper night out with some serious brass band energy, Everywhere at Once is bringing the Knock Out Brass Band to Manchester on Friday 26 June 2026. This is the kind of live music that'll get you moving – think high-octane brass arrangements, tight rhythms, and the kind of infectious groove that makes standing still nearly impossible. Whether you're a seasoned gig-goer or just after something different from the usual Manchester nightlife, this one's absolutely worth your time.
Matt & Phreds in the Northern Quarter is one of Manchester's best-loved jazz and live music venues, sat right in the heart of the city's creative hub. The venue's got that perfect intimate-yet-lively atmosphere where you're close enough to really feel the music, and the Northern Quarter itself is buzzing with independent bars, restaurants, and galleries to explore before or after the show. It's the kind of place that captures what makes Manchester's music scene special.
The gig starts at 21:30, so head down early to grab a drink and soak up the Northern Quarter vibe. Matt & Phreds gets busy on Friday nights, so arriving with time to spare means you'll get a decent spot. Bring cash if you can – it's Manchester, so card's fine too – and prepare yourself for a set that'll have you talking about it all weekend.
