Manchester Events Guide: ABBA Tribute Act
If you're after a proper night of disco fever in Manchester, the ABBA tribute act at 9inety6ix on Friday 22 May 2026 is exactly what you need. From the moment those first iconic chords kick in, you'll be transported back to the seventies with all the sequins, harmonies, and dance moves that made ABBA legends. It's completely free to get in, making this one of the best value nights out in the city – perfect for a Friday that won't break the bank.
9inety6ix sits in the heart of Castlefield, Manchester's historic neighbourhood that's buzzing with bars, restaurants, and cultural venues. The venue itself has brilliant acoustics and an intimate atmosphere that really brings tribute acts to life, with loads of character from the original Victorian warehouse conversion. You'll find yourself surrounded by fellow ABBA fans in one of the city's most atmospheric settings.
The show kicks off at 2pm, so it's an early start for a Friday but great if you fancy carrying the good vibes into the evening. Just note it's 18+ only, so bring your ID. Getting there's easy – Castlefield's well connected by tram and bus, and there's decent parking nearby if you're driving in from across Greater Manchester.
