Meekz: Album Launch Show – Manchester Events Guide
Meekz is bringing his highly anticipated album launch to Gorilla on Friday 26 June 2026, and it's a proper must-see for grime and UK hip-hop fans in Manchester. This is your chance to hear fresh material straight from the artist in an intimate live setting, with the added bonus that it's completely free to attend. Whether you're already a devoted Meekz fan or curious about the Manchester music scene, this Deansgate gig offers serious value for a night out.
Gorilla sits right in the heart of Deansgate and has built a stellar reputation as one of Manchester's best mid-sized music venues. The intimate 500-capacity space creates a genuine connection between artist and audience that you won't find at bigger arenas, and the sound system is top-notch. You'll be standing amongst genuine music heads who appreciate quality UK rap and grime.
The show kicks off at 20:45, so arrive early if you want a decent spot near the stage. The 14+ age restriction with adult supervision means younger fans can get involved too, which is brilliant for bringing fresh faces into Manchester's hip-hop community. Deansgate's got plenty of bars and food spots nearby for pre-show drinks, and it's easily accessible by tram or a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station.
