Manchester Events Guide
Head to the O2 Ritz Manchester on Saturday 25 July 2026 for an absolute belter of a tribute night featuring Guns 2 Roses, Wrong Jovi, and AC/DC Reborn. If you're a fan of classic rock and want to relive the glory days of the 80s and 90s without breaking the bank on original ticket prices, this is your night. Three legendary bands in one room means you'll get hours of non-stop rock anthems kicking off at 7pm sharp.
The O2 Ritz sits right on Oxford Road in the heart of Manchester's student quarter, making it one of the city's most iconic live music venues. With its intimate yet atmospheric setting, you'll get a proper sweaty rock gig experience without being stuck at the back of a massive arena. The venue's got brilliant acoustics and a buzzing atmosphere that keeps locals coming back time and again.
Getting there's dead easy – the Ritz is right next to Oxford Road train station, or you can hop on the Metrolink and get off at St Peters Square. Arrive early to grab a decent spot and soak up the pre-gig energy in the bars along Oxford Road. Wear comfy shoes because you'll be on your feet all night, and prepare yourself for some serious headbanging with thousands of other rock lovers.
