Shabaka

# Shabaka at Band On The Wall Shabaka brings experimental jazz and world music to Manchester on Monday 9 November 2026, delivering an unmissable evening of genre-defying improvisation and sonic exploration. This is one of those gigs that'll stick with you – Shabaka's hypnotic blend of saxophone, polyrhythmic percussion, and spiritual undertones creates an immersive experience that goes well beyond your typical night out. Whether you're into jazz, African music, or just adventurous listening, this show in the Northern Quarter is absolutely worth the £29.50 ticket price. Band On The Wall is Manchester's spiritual home for creative music and underground culture, nestled right in the heart of the Northern Quarter's bohemian creative scene. This intimate venue has hosted countless boundary-pushing artists and has become legendary for championing music that challenges and inspires. The stripped-back setting means you're up close to the action, which makes Shabaka's intricate musicianship even more impactful. The show kicks off at 19:30, and with the age restriction set at 10+, it's welcoming for families wanting to introduce younger listeners to serious music. The Northern Quarter itself is buzzing with bars and independent shops, so arrive early to soak up the atmosphere and grab some food beforehand. Tickets are selling at £29.50, and given Shabaka's growing reputation, this one could well sell out – book ahead to secure your spot.Browse more Music events in Manchester or explore Northern Quarter.
