About This Event

Bushman brings their distinctive sound to Manchester on Thursday 16 July 2026 at Band On The Wall, offering a brilliant chance to catch live music in one of the Northern Quarter's most respected venues. Whether you're into reggae, world music, or something altogether more experimental, Bushman's energetic performance promises to be a standout night that'll get you moving. This is the kind of intimate gig that Manchester does brilliantly – genuine artists, proper atmosphere, and real connection with the crowd.

Band On The Wall is an absolute gem in the Northern Quarter, housed in a converted textile factory that's been hosting quality live music since 1982. The venue's raw brick and character make it the perfect setting for live performances, with excellent acoustics and a genuinely welcoming vibe that's earned it legendary status amongst Manchester music fans. It's located right in the heart of the Quarter where you'll find independent shops, bars and restaurants before or after the show.

The gig kicks off at 7pm, so arriving early gives you time to soak in the Northern Quarter atmosphere and grab a drink beforehand. Tickets typically sell well for Band On The Wall's roster, so it's worth booking ahead to avoid disappointment. The venue's easy to reach via public transport, and the surrounding streets are vibrant come evening – perfect for making a proper night of it in Manchester.
