Hot Take: Hungry, The Speed Of Honey & Her Oscillations + Magnum Opus II is a cracking night of live music featuring some seriously talented acts at YES Basement on Friday 17 July 2026. If you're after something a bit different from the usual Manchester gig circuit, this lineup promises experimental sounds and genuine musical innovation that'll get you talking long after the final note. Starting at 7pm, it's the perfect Friday evening to discover new favourite bands in an intimate setting.
YES Basement has earned its stripes as one of Manchester's most important underground venues, tucked away in the heart of the city centre with a reputation for championing bold, forward-thinking artists. The low-ceilinged room creates an electric atmosphere where you're genuinely close to the action, making it ideal for getting under the skin of these performances. It's the kind of space where the music community gathers to support genuine creativity.
Head to the city centre and make your way down to YES for what promises to be a memorable evening of live performances. Get there early to soak in the pre-gig atmosphere and grab a drink before the music kicks off at 7pm. Standard gig etiquette applies—arrive with an open mind and respect for the artists putting themselves out there.
