About This Event

King King are bringing their powerhouse blues-rock sound to Manchester Gorilla on Wednesday 16 September 2026, and it's a gig that deserves a spot in your diary. The Scottish trio are known for delivering absolutely stonking live performances that blend heavy blues riffs with raw energy, so if you're after a night of proper guitar-driven rock, this one's for you.

Manchester Gorilla sits right in the heart of Deansgate and has earned its reputation as one of the best mid-sized venues in the city for live music. The intimate setting means you'll get up close to the action without losing the atmosphere, and the sound quality here is genuinely top-notch, which matters when you're watching musicians of King King's calibre.

Doors open at 19:00, so aim to arrive early if you want a decent spot near the stage. Deansgate is easily accessible by tram or bus, and there's plenty of bars and food spots nearby if you fancy a pre-gig drink or bite. Fair warning though – King King fans are passionate, so the venue will fill up quickly; get your tickets sorted early to avoid disappointment.
