Airbag, the acclaimed Norwegian electronic duo, brings their hypnotic synth-pop sound to Manchester Academy on Thursday 22 October 2026 at 7:30 PM. Known for their ethereal vocals and intricate production, this is a rare chance to catch one of Scandinavia's most innovative acts in an intimate Oxford Road setting. At just £1.00, this is an absolute bargain for a band of their calibre.
Manchester Academy stands as one of the city's most iconic live music venues, perfectly positioned on Oxford Road in the heart of the student quarter. The mid-sized 1,000-capacity room offers that sweet spot between feeling exclusive and energetic, with excellent acoustics that'll make Airbag's intricate soundscapes really shine. You'll be in good company – this venue has hosted everyone from The Smiths to today's biggest emerging acts.
Getting there's straightforward – Oxford Road is well-served by Metrolink trams and buses, with plenty of parking nearby if you're driving. Arrive early to grab a drink from the bar and soak up the pre-gig atmosphere with Manchester's live music crowd.
