John Hiatt at Bridgewater Hall

American singer-songwriter legend John Hiatt brings his distinctive blend of Americana, country, and rock to Manchester's premier concert hall on Thursday 2 July 2026 at 19:00. With over five decades of songwriting brilliance behind him—having penned hits for everyone from Willie Nelson to The Ry Cooder—this is a rare opportunity to see a true master of the craft perform his catalogue of timeless songs in an intimate setting. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering his work for the first time, Hiatt's raw storytelling and authentic guitar work make for an unforgettable evening.

The Bridgewater Hall stands as one of the UK's finest concert venues, perfectly positioned in Manchester city centre with its stunning architecture and world-class acoustics creating the ideal environment for acoustic and singer-songwriter performances. The venue's thoughtful design ensures every seat captures the nuance of Hiatt's performance, making this a genuinely special experience regardless of where you're sitting.

Located just off Deansgate in the heart of Manchester, the Bridgewater Hall is easily accessible by tram, train, or bus. Arrive early to soak in the pre-show atmosphere and explore the nearby bars and restaurants along Bridge Street. Comfortable seating and excellent sightlines throughout the hall mean you can settle in and enjoy an evening of musical storytelling from one of Nashville's most respected songwriters.
