# 1-800 GIRLS Live at YES Basement, Manchester
1-800 GIRLS are bringing their electrifying live show to YES Basement on Friday 24 April 2026, and the best part? It's completely free. If you're after a night of cutting-edge music in Manchester's city centre without breaking the bank, this is a proper must-attend. The energy at one of their gigs is legendary, so get there early if you want a decent spot.
YES Basement is one of Manchester's best-kept secrets for live music, tucked away in the heart of the city with an intimate vibe that bigger venues just can't match. The room's got character for days and the sound system punches well above its weight, making it the perfect intimate setting to catch rising talent. It's the kind of venue where you're close enough to feel the music rather than just hear it.
Doors open at 19:30 on the night, so aim to arrive around then if you want to grab a drink and soak in the atmosphere beforehand. It's an 18+ event, so bring your ID. The basement's accessible via the city-centre location, with decent transport links nearby—just plan your exit route if you're heading out after, as Deansgate area gets rammed on Friday nights.
