Altered Images at Band On The Wall
Altered Images bring their infectious new wave energy to Manchester on Tuesday 15 September 2026, and honestly, this is a gig you won't want to miss. The Scottish legends behind 80s classics like "Don't Talk to Me About Love" and "Happy Birthday" still know how to get a crowd moving, and with Gifthorse on support duty, you're getting a proper night of quality live music. It's the kind of intimate setting where you'll actually feel connected to the artists rather than watching from a football pitch away.
Band On The Wall sits bang in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter, one of the city's most vibrant creative hubs. This legendary venue has hosted everyone from Joy Division to modern indie acts, and it's got that perfect sweet spot of history and edginess that makes Manchester music venues special. The intimate 300-capacity room means every gig here feels personal and unpretentious.
Getting there's easy – the venue's just a short walk from Piccadilly Station or Shudehill tram stop. Doors open at 19:30, so arrive early to soak up the Northern Quarter's café and bar scene beforehand. Fair warning: it'll be packed, so wear something you don't mind getting sweaty in, and prepare for some proper singalongs with fellow Altered Images fans.
