Everywhere at Once bring their distinctive La Noche experience to Manchester this June, delivering an afternoon-into-evening electronic music event that's become a proper highlight on the city's festival calendar. If you're after inventive beats, immersive production and a crowd that actually knows their stuff, this is absolutely worth blocking out your Saturday for – it's the kind of event that reminds you why Manchester's music scene still matters.
The Rose & Monkey in the Northern Quarter is exactly the right kind of venue for this sort of thing. It's got that perfect balance of intimate enough to feel connected to what's happening, but spacious enough that you're not wedged in like a tin of beans. The surrounding streets are rammed with independent bars and food spots, so you can easily spend the whole day around there without breaking a sweat.
Getting there's straightforward – it's a short walk from Piccadilly or Market Street if you're coming from town, and there's decent parking nearby if you're driving in. Expect the Rose & Monkey to fill up from mid-afternoon onwards, so arrive early if you want to bag a decent spot. Bring cash for the bars and wear something you don't mind moving around in – this crowd tends to get properly into it.
