Dillinja, Breakage, SP:MC [Bank Holiday]

Manchester Events Guide: Dillinja, Breakage, SP:MC at Blues Kitchen

If you're after a proper Bank Holiday weekend ender, Dillinja and Breakage are bringing the drum and bass heat to Blues Kitchen Manchester on Sunday 24 May. This is a free event that's genuinely rare in the city – two heavyweight DJs on the decks with SP:MC on the mic means you're getting quality grime and DnB without breaking the bank. It's the kind of night that'll have Castlefield buzzing well past midnight.

Blues Kitchen sits right in the heart of Castlefield, Manchester's most atmospheric quarter, where the canal-side setting gives you that underground club vibe without feeling isolated from the city centre. The venue's known for hosting credible electronic and hip-hop nights, and the intimate industrial space is perfect for DnB – the sound system hits different down there. You'll get that proper Manchester nightlife experience with a crowd that actually knows their music.

Getting there is straightforward – it's walking distance from Deansgate or a short tram ride, and there's decent late-night transport heading home. Doors open at 10pm, so expect things to properly kick off around 11. Wear something you can move in, bring cash for drinks, and get there early enough to catch the whole set. This is one for your calendar if you're into authentic drum and bass.
