The MiddleTones are bringing their brilliant live sound to Defiance Spirits on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 7pm, and at just a fiver entry, it's an absolute steal for a proper night out in Manchester. This is the kind of intimate gig that lets you get up close with the band while enjoying quality craft spirits in a relaxed atmosphere – exactly what Manchester's live music scene does best.
Defiance Spirits has quickly become one of Manchester's favourite independent distillery venues, offering a cracking selection of locally-produced spirits with real character. The space itself is welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for enjoying a live performance without feeling like you're in some massive anonymous venue. It's the sort of place where you can actually chat to the people around you and have a brilliant evening.
Getting there is straightforward – the distillery is well-positioned for public transport and parking in central Manchester. Arrive early to grab a drink and soak up the atmosphere before The MiddleTones take the stage, and expect an energetic set that'll have you coming back for more. This is exactly the kind of grassroots Manchester event that makes the city's music scene special.
