SOFY is bringing an exciting live music performance to Manchester Academy 3 on Friday 16 October 2026, kicking off at 19:30. This is a must-see gig for anyone who loves quality live music in an intimate setting, offering the perfect opportunity to experience SOFY's sound up close in one of the city's most respected venues.
Manchester Academy 3 sits right on Oxford Road in the heart of Manchester's vibrant student quarter, surrounded by independent cafes, bars and restaurants that make it a proper destination for a night out. The venue itself has hosted countless memorable performances over the years and maintains a reputation for excellent acoustics and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps crowds coming back.
Getting to the Academy is straightforward – it's just a short walk from Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop or a quick bus ride if you're coming from elsewhere in the city. Expect a packed room and an energetic crowd, so arriving early gives you the best chance of bagging a good spot near the stage. The surrounding Oxford Road area has plenty of pre-gig drinking options, making it easy to soak up the atmosphere before doors open.
