Tom Meighan, the legendary frontman of Kasabian, brings his RAW26 tour to Manchester on Friday 28 August 2026 at Whittles. This is a rare chance to catch one of the UK's most charismatic rock vocalists performing live in an intimate setting, delivering the raw energy and swagger that made him a fixture on the British music scene. Whether you're a longtime Kasabian fan or curious about Meighan's solo material, this gig promises an unforgettable night of quality rock music.
Whittles has earned its reputation as one of Manchester's best independent live music venues, known for hosting everything from emerging talent to established acts in a proper, no-nonsense setting. The venue's got that authentic Manchester edge—proper sound system, friendly crowd, and an atmosphere that actually lets you experience live music the way it's meant to be heard. It's the kind of place where you feel genuine connection between artist and audience.
The show kicks off at 7pm, and tickets are £25, with an 18+ age restriction in place. Getting there's straightforward if you're in the Manchester area, and arriving early gives you time to soak in the pre-gig buzz. Fair warning: Meighan puts serious effort into his performances, so wear something you don't mind getting sweaty in and prepare yourself for a proper workout.
