# Amnesia: Club Classics Dance Band at Empire Rochdale
If you're after a proper night of live dance music in Manchester, Amnesia is exactly what you need on Saturday 2 May 2026. This is Club Classics Dance Band performing 100% live – not a DJ dropping tracks, but musicians playing all those iconic dance anthems that defined the scene, with full energy and authenticity. It's a refreshing take on club nights for anyone who wants that nostalgic rush of proper live instrumentation mixed with the hedonism of a proper dancefloor.
Empire Rochdale sits just outside Manchester city centre and has built a serious reputation as one of the North West's top live music venues. The space itself is designed for exactly this kind of event – brilliant acoustics, a proper dancefloor, and enough room to really lose yourself without feeling rammed in. It's become a go-to spot for quality live acts that you won't find everywhere.
Getting there's straightforward – Rochdale's just a quick tram or car ride from Manchester centre. Doors open at 20:00, so arrive early if you want a decent spot near the stage. Fair warning: it's 18+ only and free entry, so it'll likely pull a decent crowd. Wear something you can move in and get ready for a proper night of live dance music that'll remind you why club classics never get old.
