About This Event

Alana Springsteen brings her rising country-pop talent to Manchester Academy 2 on Monday 6 July 2026, kicking off at 19:30. The American singer-songwriter has built a loyal following with her infectious blend of country storytelling and pop sensibility, making this an ideal gig for anyone after feel-good live music in the heart of the city.

Manchester Academy 2 sits bang in the middle of Oxford Road's buzzing entertainment district, surrounded by independent bars, cafes, and vintage shops that give you plenty to explore before or after the show. The intimate 400-capacity venue is legendary for its tight acoustics and electric atmosphere – you'll feel genuinely connected to the artist from wherever you're standing.

Getting there's straightforward; Oxford Road's minutes from Piccadilly Station and Manchester Piccadilly tram stop. Arrive early to grab a drink downstairs and soak in that pre-gig buzz – the Academy's ground floor bar gets lively on show nights. Expect an upbeat, friendly crowd and the kind of performance that'll have you humming the songs on your way home.
