Dan Swift brings his Still Colouring Tour to Manchester on Thursday 15 October 2026, delivering an intimate live music experience that's perfect for anyone after a genuine night out in the city. This is a chance to catch a talented artist in a proper venue setting where you can actually hear every note, and at just £3 admission, it's brilliant value for a gig in Manchester. Whether you're into indie, folk, or alternative sounds, this is the kind of grassroots event that makes our music scene tick.
The Castle Hotel sits right in the heart of the Northern Quarter on Oldham Street, an area absolutely buzzing with character and Manchester heritage. This legendary venue has hosted countless memorable nights over the years and remains one of the best spots in town for discovering new music and supporting emerging artists. You'll be part of that proper Manchester gig-going tradition here.
Doors open at 19:00, so get down to Oldham Street early if you want a decent spot and time to soak in the venue's atmosphere. The Northern Quarter's packed with bars and restaurants if you fancy grabbing food beforehand, making it easy to turn this into a full night out. Just remember it's 16+ only, and bring cash if you can—these smaller venues appreciate it.
