About This Event

Buffalo Traffic Jam is bringing their high-energy live show to Manchester Academy 2 on Friday 26 June 2026, and it's not to be missed if you're after a night of quality live music. This is your chance to catch the band at one of the city's premier mid-sized venues, with an 19:30 kick-off that gives you the perfect excuse for an early finish at work. Whether you're a dedicated fan or just after a brilliant night out in Manchester, this gig promises an unforgettable atmosphere.

Manchester Academy 2 sits right on Oxford Road in the heart of the city centre, making it one of the most accessible venues for gigs in Greater Manchester. The intimate size of Academy 2 means you'll get a proper close-to-the-action experience without being crammed in like a festival crowd. The venue's brilliant acoustics and reputation for hosting top-tier acts make it a favourite amongst Manchester music lovers.

Getting to Oxford Road is straightforward – it's just a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens or Manchester Piccadilly station if you're coming by train. The area's packed with bars and restaurants, so arrive early and soak up the pre-gig buzz around the Academy. Remember to bring your ID and expect a full house, so get your tickets sorted early to avoid missing out.
