Black Pistol Fire bring their high-octane rock and roll to Manchester Gorilla on Friday 24 July 2026, and it's an unmissable night for anyone who loves raw, guitar-driven energy. This Canadian duo are known for their explosive live shows and infectious grooves that'll have the whole crowd moving, making them perfect for a sweaty Gorilla gig. If you're after proper rock and roll without the pretention, this is your night.
Manchester Gorilla sits right in the heart of Deansgate, one of the city's most vibrant entertainment districts, surrounded by bars, restaurants, and the buzz of the city centre. The venue itself is legendary for its intimate setup—you're close enough to feel the sweat flying off the stage, but with excellent sound quality and sightlines. It's the kind of place where gigs feel genuinely special rather than just another night out.
The doors open at 19:00, so head down early to soak up the pre-gig atmosphere and grab a drink from the bar. Deansgate is well-connected by tram and bus, and there's plenty of nearby parking if you're driving in. Wear something you don't mind getting messed up—Black Pistol Fire gigs are known for getting sweaty and raucous, so comfort's key.
